Abstract

Combining microservices with cloud computing has revolutionized software development. It enables developers to build agile and scalable applications customized to business needs. The implementation of these technologies makes access control more complex. The protection of dynamic, distributed API-based systems remains unprotected by traditional access control models. The focus of this paper is to explore access control mechanisms, including Zero Trust Architecture, ABAC, and PBAC, as well as Policy-as-Code and AI/ML-based mechanisms, to meet these requirements. We discuss how to implement it successfully, identify significant vulnerabilities, and provide recommendations for future research in this area.
