IT-Sicherheit: Technologien und Best Practices für die Umsetzung im Unternehmen (2nd edition)
Edited by Michael Lang and Hans Löhr · Hanser Verlag, 2024 · In German

Chapter contribution: "Edge Computing: Chancen und Sicherheitsrisiken" (Edge Computing: Opportunities and Security Risks)

The chapter examines what edge computing is, how it operates in Internet of Things environments, and the opportunities it opens for existing and new use cases. It then turns to the security risks that emerge when compute and data processing move closer to the source — and to the architectural principles and technologies enterprises need to design secure edge systems from the outset.

The trust-boundary shift edge computing forces — compute leaving centralized environments for distributed edges, with the security perimeter following it — is a version of the architectural question AI and autonomous systems now surface at a different scale.
