Cybersecurity Challenges and Opportunities in the New "Edge Computing + IoT" World

Abstract

The paradigm shift to the Internet of Things (IoT) and the emergence of the edge computing concept have brought huge potentials for various future IoT application scenes such as smart home, smart transportation, smart health, smart grids, and smart energy. It also brings a series of new Cybersecurity challenges. We envision that many new research and innovation opportunities will emerge in the conjunction of "Cybersecurity + edge computing + IoT + AI". In this article, we will discuss the major new Cybersecurity challenges and the related opportunities in such a vision.
