The objective of this project is to implement a Zero Trust security model for cloud-based applications, where no user or system is trusted by default. It focuses on continuous authentication, strict access controls, and real-time monitoring to minimize security risks in cloud environments.
Study the concept of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) and its importance in modern cloud security.
Analyze traditional security models and compare them with Zero Trust principles.
Design a cloud-based application incorporating Zero Trust principles such as “never trust, always verify.”
Implement strong authentication mechanisms such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) and device verification.
Develop micro-segmentation strategies to limit user access to specific resources.
Integrate identity and access management (IAM) tools for secure authorization.
Monitor user behavior and implement logging mechanisms for suspicious activities.
Deploy the application on a cloud platform (AWS/Azure/GCP).
Test the system against simulated attacks to evaluate its effectiveness.
Prepare documentation covering architecture, implementation, challenges, and future enhancements.
