This industry white paper explores the evolving cybersecurity challenges associated with distributed edge computing and presents a Zero Trust framework for protecting intelligent connected systems. Using real-world attacks such as Stuxnet, Mirai, Verkada, Target, and SolarWinds as examples, the paper explains why traditional data center security approaches are insufficient for edge deployments. It identifies key security challenges including physical exposure, scale, heterogeneous infrastructure, legacy systems, and differing IT and OT priorities. ZEDEDA's solution addresses these issues through hardware root of trust, cryptographic device identities, distributed firewalls, centralized orchestration, secure onboarding, encrypted communications, and open-source EVE-OS architecture.
