This study has demonstrated that integrating a unified detection approach within edge-cloud architectures significantly enhances both data privacy and threat response effectiveness in distributed systems. By utilizing federated learning, local differential privacy techniques, and a multi-layered detection framework, the proposed model ensures that sensitive data remains localized while enabling collaborative, intelligent threat identification across nodes. The system efficiently balances computational load between edge and cloud components, reducing latency and communication overhead without sacrificing detection accuracy. Through rigorous evaluation using benchmark datasets and simulated real-world conditions, the framework achieved superior performance metrics compared to centralized and decentralized counterparts, validating its robustness and scalability. The findings affirm the critical role of decentralized intelligence, secure model updates, and privacy-centric design in future-ready cybersecurity infrastructures. Ultimately, this research offers a viable pathway toward building secure, responsive, and privacy-preserving solutions for next-generation edge-cloud ecosystems, encouraging broader adoption in critical applications such as smart cities, healthcare, and industrial IoT.
