Description: Integrated security solutions in the context of edge computing refer to a set of measures and technologies designed to protect devices and data operating at the network’s edge, that is, close to the data source. These solutions are essential due to the growing number of connected devices that generate and process real-time data, such as IoT sensors, surveillance cameras, and industrial control systems. Integrated security encompasses multiple layers of protection, including data encryption, user authentication, intrusion detection, and behavior analysis. By embedding these measures directly into devices and operating systems, vulnerabilities are minimized, and response to threats is improved. This is particularly relevant in environments where latency is critical and where data must be processed locally before being sent to the cloud or other systems. Implementing integrated security solutions not only protects the integrity and confidentiality of data but also ensures the operational continuity of systems, which is vital in sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure.
