Adopting a Defense-in-Depth Approach to IT Security

Processes guided by least privilege and Zero Trust reduce attack surfaces, enforce just-in-time access, and detect lateral movement.

This layered approach enables CISOs to anticipate breaches, improve resilience, and make security a driver of business continuity.
