Cloud Security Zero
Cloud Security Zero · Trust is a decisionA safer digital world for the next generation.
Cloud Security Zero is an independent, non-profit initiative bringing Zero Trust and AI together. As AI speeds up attackers and AI agents start acting for us, every person, device and agent should earn its access, and nothing should be left exposed to find.

Zero Trust and AI, together
Go dark
AI makes scanning and exploiting the internet faster and cheaper than ever. The answer is to have nothing to find: connect people and agents to applications, never to networks.
Black Cloud, 2017Agents earn trust too
AI agents are the newest untrusted actors. Like every person, device and workload, they should prove who they are and earn access on each request, based on what they are doing.
The dark arts of exploiting trustDefend at machine speed
Attacks now move faster than people can think. Zero Trust gives AI clear, policy-based signals, so defences can spot and stop misuse just as fast.
Prompt manipulation, 2025What we do
- Open ideas and frameworks
- Practical, vendor-neutral thinking on how Zero Trust applies to AI: agents, models, and the data and tools they touch. Shared freely.
- Writing and talks
- Articles, keynotes and workshops for security teams, leaders and conferences, to help organisations adopt AI without opening new doors for attackers.
- Community
- Bringing practitioners together to share what works, from replacing VPNs to governing agentic AI.
- A safer world
- Making the case beyond the security industry that trust must be earned, by people and by machines.
