“Defenders have to get it right always. Attackers only need to get it right once.”
The phrase above, though applicable to multiple spheres of life, is especially true in the digital world where cybercriminals have an advantage in a never-ending cybersecurity war. However, despite the existence of the defender’s dilemma, we have the ability to turn the tide in favor of the defender. This is done by determining the landscape on which the attacker functions, countering their strategies by proactively closing security gaps and flipping the script on them. But, how do we determine this landscape with the odds stacked against us? Defense-in-Depth.Defense-in-Depth is a process whereby your digital security is installed in layers. This means that the attacker has to get it right always to gain access whereas the defense mechanism only needs to get it right once. Flip the script.
At Secured Records Management Solutions, we implement a security assessment to understand and improve the depth and ability of an organization’s layered security. The assessment is a process by which we scrutinize and implement critical upgrades in the cyber defense infrastructure of our clients, for the purpose of creating a stronger defense network and depth. It enables the security of our client organizations to be viewed holistically.
