Description: Policy Lifecycle Management in the context of Zero Trust in cloud computing refers to the comprehensive process of managing the creation, implementation, maintenance, and retirement of security policies in cloud environments. This approach is based on the principle that no entity, whether internal or external, should be trusted by default. In this sense, policy lifecycle management involves establishing clear guidelines that regulate access to resources, user authentication, and activity monitoring. Policies must be dynamic and adapt to emerging threats and changes in infrastructure. This includes defining roles and permissions, as well as implementing security controls that ensure only authorized users can access sensitive data. Effective management of these policies is crucial for maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of information, as well as for complying with security regulations and standards. In a Zero Trust environment, policy lifecycle management not only focuses on rule creation but also on the continuous evaluation of their effectiveness and the ability to respond to security incidents, thus ensuring a proactive and resilient security posture.
