Abstract

This research investigates the decentralized orchestration of edge computing resources through blockchain-based smart contracts as an unexplored paradigm for efficient resource management in Internet of Things (IoT) environments. The study examines the influence of industry sectors, years of experience with edge computing, and knowledge about blockchain on individuals' perceptions of IoT security importance. Findings reveal significant variations across industry sectors, highlighting the need for sector-specific security strategies. Moreover, years of experience with edge computing and knowledge about blockchain emerge as crucial factors influencing security priorities. The study offers practical recommendations for tailoring IoT security approaches, investing in employee expertise, and exploring blockchain integration. These insights contribute to the dynamic field of IoT security and its implications for diverse industries.
