Core Security Principles for Edge Computing in Government

Maintain security and compliance from edge to cloud

As government agencies digitally transform, they are incorporating more edge technology into their operations to improve application performance and meet mission outcomes. Edge environments include mobile or IT devices, sensors, video cameras, and other connected resources.

With edge, the usual security principles apply, such as protecting data at rest and in motion, but new considerations emerge. For example, how do organizations maintain a secure environment, from the core cloud, to edge devices, to endpoints?

This International Data Corporation (IDC) whitepaper discusses core security principles for edge computing that are applicable for public sector organizations. It also highlights how Amazon Web Services (AWS) is enabling customers with a capable, secure, and consistent experience from the edge to the cloud.
