In a world where cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated every day, adopting a layered security approach is no longer optional — it’s essential.
The “Defense in Depth” strategy, inspired by military tactics, is built on a simple principle: don’t rely on a single defense line. Instead, deploy multiple coordinated layers that slow down, detect, and block threats at every stage of an attack.
Key defense layers include:
– A secure perimeter with firewalls and intrusion prevention systems
– Intelligent EDR solutions to protect endpoints
– Network segmentation to contain lateral movement
– Zero Trust and multi-factor authentication
– 24/7 centralized MDR monitoring
– Rapid, structured incident response
But the real challenge? Integrating all these layers into a holistic, adaptive, and continuously updated strategy.
