• Abstract: The escalating complexity of cybersecurity threats necessitates innovative approaches to safeguard digital assets and sensitive information. The Zero Trust paradigm offers a transformative solution by challenging conventional security models and emphasizing continuous verification and least privilege access. This survey comprehensively explores the theoretical foundations, practical implementations, applications, challenges, and future trends of Zero Trust. Through meticulous analysis, we highlight the relevance of Zero Trust in securing cloud environments, facilitating remote work, and protecting the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. While cultural barriers and technical complexities present challenges, their mitigation unlocks Zero Trust's potential. Integrating Zero Trust with emerging technologies like AI and machine learning augments its efficacy, promising a dynamic and responsive security landscape. Embracing Zero Trust empowers organizations to navigate the ever-evolving cybersecurity realm with resilience and adaptability, redefining trust in the digital age.

• Cross-Modality Safety Alignment [73.8765529028288]
  We introduce a novel safety alignment challenge called Safe Inputs but Unsafe Output (SIUO) to evaluate cross-modality safety alignment. To empirically investigate this problem, we developed the SIUO, a cross-modality benchmark encompassing 9 critical safety domains, such as self-harm, illegal activities, and privacy violations. Our findings reveal substantial safety vulnerabilities in both closed- and open-source LVLMs, underscoring the inadequacy of current models to reliably interpret and respond to complex, real-world scenarios.
