Layered defence
Multiple layers of protection
Layered defence means having multiple barriers to prevent attack, infiltration or malware infestation.
These may include malware protection, possibly from multiple vendors, running at web and email gateways as well as on the desktop, firewalls at the network edge and on endpoints, intrusion detection system intrusion detection systems and behavioural monitors, data leak prevention systems and a wealth of other possible defences, all operating in harmony to provide best-possible protection.
