Multi-layer · No single point of failure
Defense-in-Depth
Layer people, process, and technology controls so that failure of any one layer does not equal compromise of the whole.
Discuss this service →What it is
Defense-in-depth (DiD) is a strategy of complementary security layers. If phishing bypasses awareness training, email security and MFA still stand; if a host is compromised, segmentation and EDR limit blast radius. Hover the stack on the right to explore typical layers.
Design principles
- Diversity of controls—avoid homogeneous failure modes
- Least privilege and segmentation between layers
- Visibility that spans layers (centralized logging and correlation)
- Regular testing that assumes outer layers will fail
