Resumo

O aumento da complexidade das ameaças cibernéticas e a natureza dinâmica das redes mesh exigem soluções de segurança adaptativas para garantir resiliência, conectividade segura e configuração automatizada de serviços. As abordagens tradicionais de segurança enfrentam dificuldades com a topologia em constante mudança e a natureza ad-hoc dessas redes, tornando o conceito de Confiança Zero um paradigma promissor para reforçar a segurança sem comprometer a flexibilidade. Este artigo propõe o ZETIn, uma Infraestrutura de Confiança Zero que utiliza IA Generativa e chatbots baseados em LLMs para configurar serviços de segurança no Cloud Continuum, incorporando um protocolo de consenso para viabilizar a comunicação fluida em redes mesh, mantendo políticas de segurança rigorosas. Em comparação com abordagens anteriores, nossos resultados experimentais demonstram que a arquitetura de Confiança Zero introduz um overhead mínimo, ao mesmo tempo que melhora significativamente a conectividade, a segurança e a orquestração automatizada de serviços, tornando-se uma solução viável para redes mesh ad-hoc de missão crítica.
