Edge computing societal privacy and security issues

Published: 13 February 2020 Publication History

Abstract

Edge computing involves pushing data storage, processing and analyzing to the edges of a network. It allows for actions to be taken at the point of processing. Edge computing is forcing change, and impacting society with its privacy and security issues, due to the way information is sent, is stored, and in the way, people react to the changes. This is due to the fact that data can be analyzed and reported in real time, so its outcomes are immediately actionable.
