Abstract In the era of cloud computing, cybersecurity has assumed paramount importance. As organizations transition to cloud-based solutions, cyberattackers increasingly target cloud services as a lucrative avenue for unauthorized access to sensitive information. The traditional security perimeter, once robust, now exhibits porosity, necessitating a reevaluation of security strategies to counter these evolving threats. This paper delves into the critical role of artificial intelligence (AI) within zero trust security technologies. The convergence of AI and zero trust has garnered significant attention, particularly in the domains of security enhancement, risk mitigation, and the redefinition of trust paradigms. My exploration aims to uncover how AI actively observes and supports various technologies in zero trust model. By evaluating existing research findings, I illuminate the transformative potential of AI in fortifying security within zero trust security models. This scholarly perspective underscores the critical interplay between AI and zero trust technologies, highlighting their collective potential in safeguarding digital ecosystems.
