N2 - This paper introduces MEDIATE, a framework that brings zero trust principles to the Cloud-Edge-IoT Computing Continuum. MEDIATE integrates several software-based security and policy services operating at the cloud and edge layers with hardware- and software-based monitoring components as IoT devices deployed close to the assets that require security protection. The framework is designed to a three-layer architecture with Orchestrator (Cloud), Overwatch (Edge), and Sentinel (IoT) that collectively enables cross-layer policy enforcement and coordinated threat mitigation. The Orchestrator provides global view and policy consistency, the Overwatch performs local analysis and threat correlation, and the Sentinel acts as lightweight agent for real-time monitoring near critical assets. These components can provide an adaptive security foundation suitable for distributed and large-scale operational domains such as Fourth-Party Logistics (4PL).
