Cloud computing provides on-demand scalability, high computational power, and global accessibility. Edge computing, on the other hand, is positioned closer to the end-user or data source, minimizing latency and improving real-time responsiveness. By merging these two, organizations can build efficient, low-latency solutions that meet stringent performance[2] and reliability requirements. However, this convergence also introduces new challenges related to security, data integrity, and management. Despite the many advances in cryptographic protocols and distributed systems orchestration, ensuring robust security postures in hybrid cloud-edge environments remains a daunting task.
