An effective as set-protection scheme comprising a series of well-planned and complementary levels of security...

The concept of defense in depth refers to an effective asset-protection scheme comprising multiple, complementary levels of security. It ensures that if one layer of security fails, subsequent layers continue to provide protection.

Layered Security:

Involves combining physical, technical, and procedural measures to create a robust defense system.

Examples include perimeter fencing, access controls, surveillance systems, and response protocols.

Redundancy:

Multiple layers reduce the likelihood of a single-point failure.

Comprehensive Approach:

Covers different threat vectors, from physical breaches to cyberattacks.

B: Strategic risk management focuses on decision-making rather than physical security layers.

C: Risk management is broader and does not specifically imply layered defenses.

D: Paradigm shift frequency protection is not a recognized security term.
