Practical Guide to Defense in Depth
In the treacherous landscape of cybersecurity, a single vulnerability can be your undoing. This is the stark reality captured in the adage: “Security is a chain, and the weakest link breaks it.” Traditional risk assessments and threat modeling identify critical gaps within our systems, but they often fail to account for the inherent fragility of a single-layered defense.
Imagine your digital assets as a prized castle. A determined adversary needs only one breach to plunder its treasures. Defense in depth (DiD), a well-recognized yet underutilized strategy, flips the script. By strategically placing multiple layers of security controls around your assets, you force attackers to navigate a labyrinth of obstacles. Like a sturdy castle wall, each layer increases the cost and complexity of intrusion, deterring even the most persistent adversaries.
Understanding the core principles and practical application of DiD is no longer a luxury...
