Developing a well-defined zero trust architecture (ZTA) adoption plan can help ensure a smooth and successful transition to the cloud environment. ZTA principles align closely with cloud security best practices by providing a strong foundation for organizations to securely gain the benefits of cloud computing., The Zero Trust model describes a collaborative comprehensive approach for end-to-end security that is required to keep up with continuous changes in threats, technology, and business. “The NCCoE strives to launch initiatives that directly benefit organizations facing modern cybersecurity challenges., Conclusion Zero Trust Architecture brings flexibility and effectiveness to secure cloud environments and programs. Zero Trust reduces security risks and enhances the protection of the cloud environment by not trusting any actor., Apart from that, the paper presents the threats and risks associated with Zero Trust as well as the pros and cons of its application concerning cloud technology. Keywords: Zero Trust Architecture, Cloud Security, Identity And Access Management, Micro-Segmentation, Continuous Monitoring, Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity., Foundational Zero Trust Resources This guidance contains an abstract definition of zero trust architecture (ZTA) and gives general deployment models and use cases where zero trust could improve an enterprise’s overall information technology security posture., It presents empirical evidence demonstrating the enhanced security posture, improved compliance, and operational efficiencies achieved through the adoption of Zero Trust in hybrid environments. Zero Trust architecture, ultimately fostering a more secure, responsive, and resilient digital ecosystem..
