LAYERED CYBERSECURITY : A TACTICAL GUIDE
eExecutive introduction
The notion of layered security isn ’ t new . But with companies needing to mobilise for the new business normal amid threats that are increasingly sophisticated , more varied and more frequent , layered cybersecurity has never been more relevant .
The idea behind layered cybersecurity is simple : The more obstacles you place in front of an attacker , the better your chances are to identify and stop the attack before your network , data or business are compromised . While many organisations understand the basics of layered security , our new hyperdistributed IT reality – where everyone is remote , everyone is mobile and everyone is less secure – requires us to revisit and refine this best practice .
To help , SonicWall has prepared a layered approach to meet the needs of your boundless workforce while keeping your business objectives a priority .
While there are different schools of thought on which layers are the most important ( e . g . logical , most critical , easiest to implement , etc .) this guide offers a top-down look at the vulnerabilities you should mitigate first .
It should also be stated that a modern layered security strategy should be grounded and managed in a unified , harmonised and un-siloed environment . p
