From Top to Bottom: How Layered Security Filters Out Cyber Threats
Introduction
In today's increasingly interconnected digital landscape, businesses face a growing number of cyber threats that can compromise their sensitive data, disrupt operations, and damage their reputation. To combat these risks, organizations need a robust cybersecurity strategy that can effectively protect their assets. One approach that has gained significant prominence is layered security. In this article, we explore the concept of layered security, using the analogy of a funnel, to demonstrate how multiple security measures work together to filter out cyber threats. We also emphasize the importance of layered security in mitigating risks and introduce Enterprotect 360's comprehensive layered security solution.
Understanding Layered Security
Layered security, also known as defense in depth, involves implementing multiple security measures at different levels to create a robust and resilient defense against cyber threats. The concept is similar to a funnel, where threats enter at the top and pass through sequential layers, with each layer designed to filter out or mitigate specific risks. This approach recognizes that no single security solution can provide 100% protection, and by combining multiple layers, organizations can significantly reduce their exposure to cyber threats.
The Effectiveness of Layered Security
The strength of layered security lies in its ability to filter out a majority of threats at various stages, allowing organizations to focus their resources on addressing the remaining risks. As threats progress through each layer, they encounter specialized security measures that target specific vulnerabilities, attack vectors, or indicators of compromise. By the time threats reach the bottom of the security funnel, only a small fraction remains, representing a significantly reduced risk landscape that requires immediate attention.
