SOLUTION

Defense in Depth and Layered Security are important concepts in the field of network security. These strategies refer to the approach of implementing multiple layers of security measures, each layer providing an additional layer of protection for a network. The main aim of these strategies is to make it more difficult for attackers to penetrate a network, and to prevent damage from spreading if a security breach does occur.

Defense in Depth:
Defense in Depth refers to the practice of using multiple security controls at different layers of a network to provide comprehensive security coverage. The idea behind this strategy is to create a series of security barriers that an attacker would have to penetrate in order to reach sensitive data or systems. These security barriers may include firewalls, intrusion detection systems, anti-virus software, access control systems, and other security technologies.
