Abstract	Cloud computing now serves as a core technology behind modern digital services, providing scalable and adaptable access to computing resources. However, its distributed nature introduces critical security concerns that traditional perimeter-based models fail to address effectively. Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) has evolved into a powerful cybersecurity approach that eliminates inherent trust and continuously authenticates all users and devices. This paper offers an in-depth overview of Zero Trust Architecture in cloud-based environments, discussing its fundamental ideas, key components, advantages, and the difficulties faced during adoption. Furthermore, the study explores its relevance in mitigating contemporary cybersecurity threats and outlines potential future research directions.
