Ensemble Security and Multi-Cloud Load Balancing for Data in Edge-based Computing Applications

— Edge computing has gained significant attention in recent years due to its ability to process data closer to the source, resulting in reduced latency and improved performance. However, ensuring data security and efficient data management in edge-based computing applications poses significant challenges. This paper proposes an ensemble security approach and a multi-cloud load-balancing strategy to address these challenges. The ensemble security approach leverages multiple security mechanisms, such as encryption, authentication, and intrusion detection systems, to provide a layered defense against potential threats. By combining these mechanisms, the system can detect and mitigate security breaches at various levels, ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of data in edge-based environments. The multi-cloud load balancing strategy also aims to optimize resource utilization and performance by distributing data processing tasks across multiple cloud service providers. This approach takes advantage of the flexibility and scalability offered by the cloud, allowing for dynamic workload allocation based on factors like network conditions and computational capabilities. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, we conducted experiments using a realistic edge-based computing environment. The results demonstrate that the ensemble security approach effectively detects and prevents security threats, while the multi-cloud load balancing strategy with edge computing to improve the overall system performance and resource utilization.
