Protecting Your Organization from Harm Requires Layers of Defense

Having a dead bolt lock on your front door at home is good, but is it enough to keep intruders out? Because intruders may not be deterred by a single lock, a well-protected home has sturdy doors, deadbolt locks on every door, a loud dog, security locks or bars on the windows and a home security system with motion sensors that will alert the police should the alarm sound off.

Protecting your organization's computer network against intruders requires many layers of defense – just like your home. The more layers you implement, the more likely a thief will move on to a less-protected environment.

Three Layering Techniques

Methods of defensive layering in information security:

  • Layering different technologies in the same area of the IT infrastructure
  • Layering similar technologies across different vantage points within the infrastructure
  • Layering a highly capable and trained human organization on top of all of the security technologies in a 24/7/365 scheme
