Defense in Depth

Layered security approach with multiple defensive mechanisms.

Network Security

Firewalls

Packet filtering, stateful inspection, application layer

Intrusion Detection/Prevention

IDS/IPS, signature-based, anomaly detection

Network Segmentation

VLANs, DMZ, micro-segmentation

VPN & Remote Access

SSL/TLS VPN, IPsec, zero-trust network access

Access Controls

Authentication

Multi-factor, biometric, SSO, password policies

Authorization

RBAC, ABAC, least privilege, separation of duties

Identity Management

IAM, directory services, provisioning

Privileged Access

PAM, just-in-time access, session recording

Application Security

Securing applications throughout the development lifecycle.

Secure Development

OWASP Top 10

Injection, XSS, broken authentication, sensitive data exposure

Secure Coding

Input validation, output encoding, error handling

Code Review

Static analysis, dynamic testing, manual review

DevSecOps

CI/CD security, automated testing, security gates

Runtime Protection

WAF (Web Application Firewall)

Request filtering, rate limiting, DDoS protection

RASP (Runtime Application Self-Protection)

Real-time monitoring, attack detection, automatic response

API Security

Authentication, rate limiting, input validation

Container Security

Image scanning, runtime protection, orchestration security

Endpoint Security

Protecting devices and workstations from threats.

Antivirus & EDR

Traditional Antivirus

Signature-based detection, real-time scanning

EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response)

System Hardening

Configuration Management

Security baselines, CIS benchmarks, configuration drift

Patch Management

Vulnerability scanning, patch deployment, testing

Application Control

Whitelisting, blacklisting, execution policies

Data Loss Prevention

DLP policies, encryption, access controls

Monitoring & Response
