Layered Security

Layered Security, or Defense in Depth, combines multiple layers of security which focus on prevention, detection and response. Think about your bank – you can’t just walk into the safe and take your money. They have locked doors, human guards, and special access controls.

Each one of the layers listed to the left protects you against different types of threats. As cyber criminals get more sophisticated, your defenses need to as well – your traditional antivirus just isn’t enough to protect you anymore.

Basic Layers

Access Management

Identity and access management is the security discipline that enables individuals to access the right resources at the right times for the right reasons.

Patch Management

Firewall

A product designed to block unauthorized access while permitting outward communication

Antivirus

Software designed to detect and destroy computer viruses, typically those transferred via downloaded files.
