Abstract
Edge computing has revolutionized modern computing systems by enhancing efficiency and accessibility through its decentralized architecture. However, this same decentralization introduces critical challenges in cybersecurity and ethical governance. This chapter explores innovative social and ethical approaches to counter cyber attacks in edge computing environments, focusing on the integration of trust, transparency, and accountability into system design. Key ethical dilemmas in edge computing, such as data privacy breaches and algorithmic bias, require robust frameworks for identification and resolution. This study emphasizes the importance of ethical compliance, user empowerment, and cross-stakeholder collaboration in addressing these issues. This section delves into frameworks for recognizing and addressing ethical issues, highlighting the value of openness, accountability, and user empowerment. Trust and ethical compliance are essential for successful and sustainable edge computing systems. Strategies for fostering trust, supporting ethical behavior, and negotiating regulatory frameworks are reviewed, emphasizing the importance of stakeholder collaboration and incorporating ethical concepts into technological design and implementation. Organizations that implement these social and ethical solutions can strengthen cybersecurity safeguards and maintain ethical standards in the fast-changing ecosystem of edge computing.
