Abstract Details

2025, Master of Computing and Information Systems, Youngstown State University, Department of Computer Science and Information Systems.
The advancements of cloud and mobile technologies have built modern data storage systems which face various serious security risks. Mobile-cloud environments demand continuous change in their settings coupled with a shifting security threat environment which makes conventional access control systems insufficient. A Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA)-based Dynamic Access Control Framework presents itself as a solution to enhance cloud-based business security based on this research. Through ZTA organizations defend against internal threats and escalated access rights and unauthorized entry by carrying out continuous authentication with restricted privilege access in combination with real-time protection assessments rather than static security models. The research project aims to develop and evaluate a Zero Trust-based access control structure which unifies computational policy enforcement with artificial intelligence anomaly identification along with real-time data interpretation capabilities. A test implementation of real-time security analytics alongside adaptive authentication and Identity and Access Management (IAM) will be installed through AWS or Microsoft Azure. Security threat simulation tests will determine the framework's success while measuring how users interact with the system and how well the framework scales and performs regarding security aspects. Scalable policy enforcement joins better authentication models together with a better access control system for mobile-cloud environments and provides recommendations for Zero Trust implementation in cloud-based infrastructures among the project's expected outcomes. The research contributes new knowledge about cloud security by resolving critical issues through its systematic approach to adaptive resilient access control.
