Global investment in edge computing is expected to rise to close to US$400bn by 2028, doubling in just five years.
Edge computing is a complementary solution to cloud computing, decentralizing computing tasks and providing benefits in performance and efficiency.
Industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, retail, and finance can gain competitive advantages through local data processing and real-time capabilities enabled by edge computing.
Edge computing introduces cyber security risks, including increased vulnerability to breaches, data theft, and disruptions, as well as complex liability determination and compliance with diverse regulations.
