Abstract

This research focuses on the development of the cybersecurity threats focused on the zero-trust architecture framework and detecting and mitigating the threats. The integration of the NIST SP 800-207 along with the MITRE ATT&ACK tactics and techniques through the controlled environment setup and testing and conducting all the use case scenarios and detecting it using Wazuh SIEM (Security information and event management) an opensource tool. The implementation has achieved the successful detection of all the security events triggered and reduced the noise in the environment The results signifies that it achieved near real time detection which is mean time to detect for all the attack scenarios and also was successful in achieving the mean time to response (MTTR) for the selected automation policies.
