Nearly four thousand years ago, Hammurabi engraved the laws of Babylon onto a stone plinth and revolutionized the codication of law. Today, lawyers of all walks of life are engaged in a new revolution, with the ability to practice law armed with nothing more than a tablet device and an internet browser—a revolution brought about, in large part, by the rise of cloud computing.

Cybersecurity challenges abound for organizations across the world. The tsunami of phishing attacks that threaten account compromise, data breaches and malware infection remains a critical threat to neutralize. Ransomware is a second critical threat, with a well-played ransomware attack capable of bringing an organization to a complete halt, and in some cases putting it out of business permanently (e.g., Travelex1 and Vastaamo2.

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.

MX’s approach to security includes a defense-in-depth strategy. This strategy is supported by an established, operational MX Security Program, with a robust suite of governing policies, processes, security controls, and procedures to achieve MX’s security strategy. MX enacts defense in depth by hardening each layer of MX’s infrastructure and supporting processes.

While we are witnessing a modest slowdown in cloud migration due to rising costs and economic uncertainty, it remains that a multitude of organizations now have a hybrid infrastructure in place. According to Forrester analysts,1 this is deemed very much the norm and reports show 72 percent of organizations exist in the hybrid cloud.2 This is because enterprises will likely have paired their own data center/private cloud with one or more public clouds as a result of acquisition or to reap a number of benefits: Cisco, for example, identified 42 percent of organizations believe they achieve a more agile and scalable development environment within the hybrid cloud, alongside 40 percent who realize accelerated business agility and innovation.3
