Defense in Depth Strategy

Defense in Depth is a security approach that uses multiple layers of protection to safeguard information and systems. Instead of relying on a single security measure, it integrates several defenses—such as firewalls, encryption, and user training—so that if one layer fails, others still protect against threats. This strategy reduces the chances of a successful attack by creating multiple hurdles, making it harder for cybercriminals to breach or compromise resources. Ultimately, it aims to enhance overall security resilience by providing layered, overlapping safeguards.
