AT&T Cybersecurity released its 12th annual Cybersecurity Insights Report, “Edge Ecosystem,” which highlights the dramatic shift in computing underpinned by 5G, the edge, and the convergence of networking and security. The report found that business and technology leaders are finally coming together not just to understand the new edge computing ecosystem, but to make more predictable, data-informed business decisions. Collaboration among these leaders, as well as external partners in the ecosystem, will be critical for the edge journey ahead – but more progress must be made to better leverage the edge and transform the business.
