Summary

Hide ▲

As organizations expand cloud computing usage, securing the cloud edge has become crucial. The cloud edge, defined as the connectivity between cloud workloads and endpoints, presents new attack surfaces and security challenges. The difficulty lies in managing and securing cloud services that traverse public networks, exposing data to potential interception and increasing the attack surface. Security experts emphasize the need for end-to-end encryption, treating edge devices as untrusted, and implementing robust security measures to mitigate risks. Traditional security frameworks like SASE and zero-trust architectures are being adapted, but they face manageability and performance issues. The integration of AI and quantum computing further complicates security, requiring proactive measures to safeguard the cloud edge.
