Enhancing Endpoint Security through Collaborative Zero-Trust Integration: A Multi-Agent Approach
R Reddy · International Journal of Computer Trends and Technology · 2024
In today’s dynamic and interconnected digital world, endpoint security, also known as endpoint protection, remains a major challenge as traditional security methods are not good enough to stop advanced cyber threats. Some of the very crucial approaches to improving threat mechanisms that have been explored in the current paper are collaborative zero-trust integration and the multi-agent approach. These approaches are used to improve endpoint security by redefining access control, and they also lead to the detection of threat mechanisms, particularly. The combination of collaborative Zero Trust principles and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) to improve endpoint security management is thoroughly examined. This is the primary objective of the current paper as well. Security mechanisms that depend mainly on perimeter-based defenses should be shifted to granular, continuous authentication and authorization processes, as these security mechanisms strengthen resilience against cyber threats. The main ideas behind Zero Trust security, which means not trusting anything by default and always checking instead, and how using Multiple Agents (MAS) allows for independent decision-making and flexible responses to keep endpoints secure are all explained in this paper. Important technical details, such as designing the system and choosing the right technology, are discussed in this paper, thereby including real-life examples and case studies that show how these ideas have been successfully put into practice. The challenges that occur while adopting collaborative Zero Trust frameworks, mainly for endpoint security, are examined thoroughly in this paper, and future directions for research and innovation in this area are also proposed. To achieve the highest endpoint security solutions in modern IT environments, detailed information about utilizing collaborative Zero Trust integration along with MAS is provided.
