Implementing End–to-End Zero Trust Architecture in the AIoT-Edge-Cloud Continuum: The CyberNEMO Approach

Year: 2026

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: As cyber threats continue to evolve in scale and complexity, the limitations of traditional security models that rely on network boundaries have been revealed. Under this framework, the need for robust security becomes critical, especially in distributed systems such as the AIoT-Edge-Cloud Continuum. Zero Trust is a modern cybersecurity approach, resting on the notion "never trust, always verify" reshaping the established assumptions that everything inside a network is inherently trusted and shifting the focus of perimeter defense to individual applications, users’ assets and resources of the network. Implementing Zero Trust Architectures in the Continuum can be particularly challenging. This paper explores the integration of Zero Trust Architecture and Zero Trust principles in the context of EU Funded CyberNEMO [1] project, proposing a holistic approach in terms of security and trust and offering an end-to-end and full stack protection.
