Layered security has long been a significant element of many organizations' security strategy. In an IT context, layered security means protecting digital assets with several layers, each layer providing an additional defense. The goal is simple -- to make it much harder for a hacker to get through a network perimeter and into a network. Even if a hacker managed to breach one layer of security, all the data and resources inside the network remain safely guarded by the other layers of security which are in place.
