Defence in depth: a layered strategy for financial systems

1Introduction

Multiple independent layers stop or detect attackers who pass one.

2Discussion

Perimeter and network: NGFW, IDS/IPS, DDoS protection, segmentation; payment systems isolated.

Identity: MFA, PAM, least privilege, access review; endpoints: EDR, hardening, patching.

Application and data: secure coding, WAF, encryption, masking, immutable backups; CIS Controls prioritise them.

3Conclusion

Monitoring and response, organised by NIST CSF functions: govern, identify, protect, detect, respond, recover.
