2023 AT&T Cybersecurity Insights Report: Edge Ecosystem – Theresa Lanowitz, Steve Winterfeld – BSW #320
Organizations still struggle with DDoS, ransomware, and personal information exfiltration. In order the prevent these attacks, we first need to understand the ‘types’ of DDoS and emerging threat techniques used by the adversary. In this interview, we explore these attacks in the context of edge computing. As edge computing use cases evolve, organizations need to understand the intersection of edge computing, networking, and cybersecurity. We discuss the risks associated with edge computing, the controls that can mitigate these risks, and how to plan for implementation, including security budgeting.
