Defending the network several times over
James K. Harris · Network Security · 2011
Modern networks can be attacked in a variety of ways, meaning that companies need different types of protection. James Harris of ZyXEL explains that companies need to cover all bases when it comes to information security. Defence in depth is a crucial technique for small to medium-size businesses (SMBs) that want to protect themselves against intrusion. Condensing multi-layered protection into a single device, updated by the vendor, provides the best protection for resource-constrained companies. The more points protection that a company covers, the more likely it is to fend off the majority of generic attacks on the Internet.
