Smart Cities, Smarter AI: Edge Defense That Adapts

The IoT technology in urban areas has brought smart cities into use while the edge computing plays the base in handling nearby source data. This work examines how AI driven Anomaly detection improves significantly the security for Edge computing framework coprotection. The report discusses how edge environments bring specific security problems while evaluating traditional security solutions and show how AI works to identify and counter anomalies in real-time operations. A properly implemented anomaly detection system results in significant benefits to safeguard smart city infrastructure from current and future threats.
