Cyber Security Framework for Detecting Malicious Devices in Fog Computing and (IoT) Environments: Challenges and Open Issues

Computer Science

One of the greatest challenges for the creation of fog or edge paradigms ecosystem is security stressed in strong terms that, there are several reasons for this. First, at the core of edge paradigm, there are several enabling technologies such as wireless networks, distributed and peer-to-peer systems, and virtualization platforms. It is then necessary not only to protect all these building blocks, but also to coordinate the diverse security mechanisms. This is by itself a complex issue, as we need to create a unified and transversal view of all the security mechanisms that allows their integration and interoperability. Therefore, there is immediate requirement of a proactive and predictive cybersecurity measure for protecting the edge services from malicious edge devices. Proactive prediction of malicious edge device attacks on the system will result in better and secure deployment of fog or edge layer in IoT environment. Therefore, the main purpose of this study to investigate the existing cybersecurity frameworks and identify their weaknesses for improvement.
