“Edge products and services are powering the next wave of digital transformation. With the ability to place infrastructure and applications close to where data is generated and consumed, organizations of all types are looking to edge technology as a method of improving business agility and creating new customer experiences,” said <\/a>Dave McCarthy<\/a>, research director, Edge Strategies at IDC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDC expects<\/a> that worldwide spending on edge computing will reach $250 billion in 2024, growing at about 12.5 percent annually. But while analysts expect edge computing to be the next IT trend, there ae important issues like complexity and security that will need to be solved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the area of Edge security, InfoQ<\/a> outlines five areas of concern with existing IoT\/Edge implementations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
