Abstract

Mobile and Internet of Things devices are generating enormous amounts of multi-modal data due to their exponential growth and accessibility. As a result, these data sources must be directly analyzed in real time at the network edge rather than relying on the cloud. Significant processing power at the network's edge has made it possible to gather data and make decisions prior to data being sent to the cloud. Moreover, security problems have significantly towered as a result of the rapid expansion of mobile devices, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and various network points. It's much harder than ever to guarantee the privacy of sensitive data, including customer information. This systematic literature review depicts the fact that new technologies are a great weapon to fight with the attack and threats to the edge computing security.
