2023 AT&T CYBERSECURITY INSIGHTS REPORT: EDGE ECOSYSTEM

The 2023 AT&T Cybersecurity Insights Report examines how edge use cases are
evolving, how organizations are changing to deliver better business outcomes
through digital first experiences, and how an integrated ecosystem can work
together to put security at the core of edge computing.
Theresa Lanowitz, Head of Cybersecurity Evangelism, AT&T Business

Each year, we look forward to the publication of the "AT&T Cybersecurity
InsightsTM Report: Edge Ecosystem," a vendor-neutral and forward-looking report.
It helps us gauge where the market is going, what lies ahead, and evolving
business solutions — while understanding how cybersecurity connects to the
ecosystem.




RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This report is a vendor-neutral thought leadership piece offering a quantitative
analysis of 1,418 global professionals in security, IT, application development,
and line-of-business. It includes a qualitative analysis of cybersecurity
subject matter experts.

The report includes common edge use cases in seven verticals — healthcare;
retail; finance; manufacturing; energy; transportation; and US state, local, and
higher education (SLED) — and presents actionable advice for securing and
connecting an edge ecosystem. Finally, it looks at cybersecurity and the broader
edge ecosystem of networking, service providers, and top use cases.


EMBRACING THE EDGE COMPUTING ECOSYSTEM

We asked our respondents to help us define the key characteristics of edge
computing. These characteristics define this new democratized version of
computing with IoT devices (that are also evolving) that will process and
deliver a previously unseen velocity, volume, and variety of data.


 * Edge computing relies on a distributed model of management, intelligence, and
   networks.
 * Applications, workloads, and hosting are closer to where data is generated
   and consumed.
 * It's software-defined, which can mean the dominant use of private, public, or
   hybrid cloud environments. This doesn't rule out on-premises environments.


BUSINESS IS REALIZING THE VALUE OF EDGE DEPLOYMENTS

Edge deployments and use cases are increasing because business recognizes their
value. In 2023, the primary use case in each industry evolved from the previous
year.

Fifty-seven percent of survey respondents are in proof of concept, partial, or
full implementation phases with their edge computing use cases.

One of the most pleasantly surprising findings is how organizations are
investing in security for edge. We asked survey participants how they allocated
their budgets for the primary edge use cases across four areas: strategy and
planning, network, security, and applications.

The results show that security is an integral part of edge computing. This
balanced investment strategy prioritizes much-needed security for ephemeral edge
applications as a key component of strategic planning. Edge project budgets are
nearly balanced across four key areas: 30% network, 23% overall strategy and
planning, 22% security, and 22% applications.


A ROBUST PARTNER ECOSYSTEM SUPPORTS EDGE COMPLEXITY

Across all industries, external trusted advisers are being called upon as
critical extensions of the team. During the edge project planning phase, 64% use
an external partner. During the production phase, that same number increases to
71%. These findings demonstrate that organizations are seeking help because the
complexity of edge demands more than a do-it-yourself approach.

A surprise finding comes in the form of the changing attack surface and changing
attack sophistication. Our data shows that distributed denial-of-service (DDoS)
attacks are now the top concern (when examining the data in the aggregate vs. by
industry). Surprisingly, ransomware dropped to eighth place out of eight in
attack type.



The qualitative analysis points to an abundance of organizational spending on
ransomware prevention over the past 24 months and enthusiasm for ransomware
containment. However, ransomware criminals and their attacks are relentless.
Additional qualitative analysis suggests cyber adversaries may be cycling
different types of attacks. This is a worthwhile issue to discuss in your
organization.


BUILDING RESILIENCE IS CRITICAL FOR SUCCESSFUL EDGE INTEGRATION

Resilience is about adapting quickly to a changing situation. Together,
resilience and security address risk, support business needs, and drive
operational efficiency at each stage of the journey. As use cases evolve,
resilience gains importance, and the competitive advantage that edge
applications provide can be fine-tuned. Future evolution will involve more IoT
devices, faster connectivity and networks, and holistic security tailored to
hybrid environments.

Our research finds that organizations are fortifying and future-proofing their
edge architectures and adding cyber resilience as a core pillar. Empirically,
our research shows that as the number of edge use cases in production grows,
there is a strong need and desire to increase protection for endpoints and data.
For example, the use of endpoint detection and response grows by 12% as use
cases go from ideation to full implementation.


KEY TAKEAWAYS

You may not realize you've already encountered edge computing — whether through
telemedicine, finding available parking places, or working in a smart building.
Edge brings us to a digital-first world rich with new and exciting
possibilities.

By embracing edge computing, you'll help your organization gain important and
often competitive business advantages. This report is designed to help you start
and further the conversation. Use it to develop a strategic plan that includes
these key development areas.

 * Start developing your edge computing profile.
 * Develop an investment strategy.
 * Align resources with emerging security priorities.
 * Prepare for ongoing, dynamic response.
