Abstract
This study introduces a methodology integrating Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) principles and Transparent Shaping into an AWS-hosted Online File Manager (OFM) application, enhancing security without substantial code modifications. We evaluate our approach with the Mozilla Observatory, highlighting significant security improvements and outlining a promising direction for applying Transparent Shaping and ZTA in cloud environments.
