Edge Security Demystified - Course Overview
MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing) is a key emerging technology, especially since the introduction of 5G systems. The industry interest is gradually shifting into this new domain, with impact on new application development paradigms, that will enable innovative services accelerating even further the smartphones evolution. Moreover, cybersecurity is an important aspect to consider.
Is then important to get familiar now with MEC and its impacts and benefits on application developments, avoiding the many myths and confusions that often circulate around new technologies.
The course will help you to navigate across many standards and solutions, in order to better focus on what matters for edge application development. It will cover the main aspects of Edge Computing, from a both system level and practical perspective and with the aim to provide useful tool for engineers, research scientists and of course application developers.
In particular, you will learn all innovative technologies around MEC, with all critical references from international standardization (e.g. ETSI, 3GPP), industry groups (e.g. GSMA, 5GAA) and open source projects (e.g. Linux Foundation, CNCF, etc.). A special focus will be given to cybersecurity, where you will acquire a comprehensive understanding of the state-of-the-art support for edge computing, with special focus on automotive applications, as a key example from the industry.
Additionally, a set of practical examples and exercises will complete the course, together with a final quiz, where you will have the opportunity to measure your skills against problems in the real life, to be prepared to build your own MEC application, also based on the open-source software introduced during the course.
