What is Layered Security?
Layered security, also known as "defense in depth," involves implementing multiple security measures across your IT systems. Each layer acts as a barrier, ensuring that if one defense is breached, others remain to protect your data and network.
According to Australian Cyber Security Centre, organizations should implement multiple layers of security controls to effectively protect against cyber threats.
