Security Applications of Edge Intelligence
Nader Mohamed, Jameela Al‐Jaroodi · 2023
One of the recent promising technologies that combines the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) and edge computing is edge intelligence. Edge intelligence provides intelligent and efficient services to support different types of smart applications. One of these application types is smart security applications which leverages AI capabilities to improve security measures for various distributed applications and systems. While it is possible to utilize only centralized AI capabilities, such as those provided on the cloud, to improve security applications, edge intelligence adds more features and capabilities to further enhance these applications. This short paper investigates how edge intelligence can support security applications, what types of benefits can be gained by utilizing edge intelligence for supporting security applications, and what types of challenges are present in such utilization. The paper reviews and discusses several security applications that can benefit from using edge intelligence.
