A Comprehensive Study on Security in Edge-as-a-Service

Abstract

Edge-as-a-Service (EaaS) is a rapidly evolving framework that enables businesses to use edge computing capabilities without requiring extensive infrastructure investment. This method lowers latency and improves business performance by processing data closer to the source. EaaS's distributed architecture, however, creates serious security issues, such as flaws in network security, edge device integrity, and data transmission. To improve security in EaaS systems, this study examines many of the latest technologies. Key focus areas include secure data transmission, identity management, privacy preservation, and the integration of AI-driven security mechanisms. The paper also discusses future directions in enhancing the security of EaaS platforms.
