Episode 2: Connections & Confessions in Cybersecurity

Edge computing is growing fast—but so are the security challenges. Every type of “edge” brings unique opportunities and vulnerabilities. Our latest article, written by Laura Wilber and published by The Fast Mode, explains how SASE platforms are evolving to tackle these challenges. Readers will gain actionable insights on how to adapt their security and networking strategies for the edge. 💡 Check the comments for the full article and our whitepaper: “Edge Opportunities and Cybersecurity Risks: Six Key Frontiers” #EdgeComputing #CloudComputing #SASE #Cybersecurity

This article and the accompanying Edge brief gather insights about the ways in which edge computing has shaped our customers' strategies in 2025, and driven notable innovations by our research and engineering teams to meet customer edge needs. I've grouped these edge types into the following, though they are interrelated: the AI Edge, the Wireless Edge, the Sovereign Edge, the Secure SoHo Edge, the Rugged Edge and the Space Edge. If I had to pick one which will be remembered as the most consequential in 2025, I would go with the Sovereign Edge. It represents a digital transformation linked to what sometimes feels likes a tectonic plate-level shift, or at least what feels that way to me as I return to Europe from visiting family in the US, and finalize my plans for attending European Cyber Week in Rennes next week, which shows it has been sovereign before sovereign was cool with its introductory description: "European Cyber Week... 10 years serving French and European sovereignty! For ten years, European Cyber Week, organized by the Cyber Excellence Cluster and its members, has been bringing together French and European cybersecurity and cyberdefense players around a common goal: building sustainable digital sovereignty in line with the geopolitical challenges and commercial issues of the contemporary world." If you'd like to discuss edge computing trends, reach out to me here, or connect with me at ECW if you are attending. #EuroCyberWeek #edgecomputing

Great presentation by Marvin Büchel of our paper entitled "Automated TTP Extraction from CTI Reports – Are We There Yet?" Spoiler alert: we are not! In a nutshell: we need better data and better ontologies in the domain.
