Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital ecosystems, fueled by globalization, cloud migration, and expanding connectivity, demands cybersecurity frameworks capable of countering sophisticated and ever-evolving threats. Traditional perimeter-based security models are increasingly inadequate against the complexity of modern cyberattacks. This paper explores cutting-edge cybersecurity paradigms, including Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), serverless computing for dynamic network profiling, enterprise-scale threat modeling, and resilient strategies designed for next-generation connectivity. Through this examination, we propose a cohesive approach to creating adaptive, scalable, and resilient cybersecurity systems, offering actionable insights to address the intricate challenges posed by evolving threat landscapes and technological innovations.
