Layers and Layers of Security
Separating Myth from Reality in Defence-in-Depth
Every organisation proudly declares it has “layers and layers of security.” The principle—Defence-in-Depth (DiD)—is sound, but poorly applied it creates fragility instead of resilience.
🎭 Interactive Myths vs. Realities
📚 More Tools = More Security?
Myth: DiD means buying one product per layer and ticking boxes.
🔍 Deep Dive Analysis:
The Reality: Unintegrated tools create silos and blind spots. True depth requires synergy—layers that complement, compensate, and communicate.
Key Problems with Tool Stacking:
- Alert fatigue from multiple dashboards
- Gaps in threat correlation
- Increased operational complexity
- Higher total cost of ownership
Better Approach:
- Integrated security platforms
- API-driven tool orchestration
- Single pane of glass monitoring
- Automated response workflows
🛡️ Perimeter Security is Enough?
Myth: Secure the gateway, and the job is done.
🔍 Modern Attack Patterns:
The Reality: 70% of successful attacks bypass perimeter defenses through social engineering, insider threats, or supply chain compromises.
Castle & moat mentality
