The Role of Edge Computing in Enhancing IoT Efficiency and Security
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming industries by connecting billions of devices, generating massive amounts of data that require real-time processing. Traditional cloud computing models, while powerful, struggle with latency, bandwidth constraints, and security vulnerabilities. Edge computing has emerged as a revolutionary solution by decentralizing data processing, bringing computation closer to the data source. This shift enhances efficiency, reduces latency, and strengthens security, making it indispensable for modern IoT ecosystems. This article provides an in-depth exploration of edge computing’s impact on IoT, supported by empirical data, comparative tables, and graphical representations. We analyze key benefits, challenges, and future trends, offering a comprehensive understanding of why edge computing is critical for the next generation of IoT applications
