The Business of Hacking

Attackers are sophisticated. They are organized. We hear these statements a lot but what do they mean to us? What does it mean to our businesses? When we dig deeper into the “business of hacking,” we see that the attackers have become almost corporate in their behavior. Their business looks a lot like ours. Cyber criminals look to maximize their profits and minimize risk. They have to compete on quality, customer service, price, reputation, and innovation. The suppliers specialize in their market offerings. They have software development lifecycles and are rapidly moving to Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings. Our businesses overlap in so many ways that we should start to look at these attackers as competitors.

MEC security; Status of standards support and future evolutions

whitePaper | September 28, 2022

The present White Paper will focus on MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing) technologies and intends to explore security-related use cases and requirements with the aim of identifying aspects of security where the nature of edge computing results in insufficient industry approaches to cloud security. Edge computing environments are by nature characterized by a complex multi-vendor, multi-supplier, multi-stakeholder ecosystem of equipment including both HW and SW devices. Given this overall level of system heterogeneity, the areas of security, trust, and privacy are key topics for the edge environments. Finally, the advent of edge cloud federations and the presence of (far) edge devices, e.g., in Internet-ofThings environments, requires tackling MEC security with an end-to-end (E2E) approach by leveraging existing standards relevant in the area, as carefully selected to be applicable in edge computing systems.
