Detailed explanation-1: -Defense-in-depth user protection involves a combination of security offerings (e.g., WAF, antivirus, antispam software, etc.) and training to block threats and protect critical data. A vendor providing software to protect end-users from cyberattacks can bundle multiple security offerings in the same product.

Detailed explanation-2: -A defense-in-depth strategy, aka a security-in-depth strategy, refers to a cybersecurity approach that uses multiple layers of security for holistic protection. A layered defense helps security organizations reduce vulnerabilities, contain threats, and mitigate risk.

Detailed explanation-3: -Layer 1: Perimeter Defence. Layer 2: Host Protection. Layer 3: Operating Systems and Application Protection. Layer 4: Data/Information Protection.

Detailed explanation-4: -Defense in Depth (DiD) is an approach to cybersecurity in which a series of defensive mechanisms are layered in order to protect valuable data and information. If one mechanism fails, another steps up immediately to thwart an attack.

Detailed explanation-5: -Multi-layered security refers to securing your organization’s data using a variety of security measures. The idea is that if hackers want to access the data, they have to break through multiple layers of security (e.g., physical, administrative, and technical), making it much more difficult to gain access.
