Explanations
Defence in depth layers (from bottom to top):
-> Data
- In almost all cases attackers are after data.
- Data can be in database, stored on disk inside VMs, on a SaaS application such as Office 365 or in cloud storage.
- Those storing and controlling access to data to ensures that it's properly secured
- Often regulatory requirements dictates controls & processes
- to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
-> Application
- Ensure applications are secure and free of vulnerabilities.
- Store sensitive application secrets in a secure storage medium.
- Make security a design requirement for all application development.
- Integrate security into the application development life cycle.
-> Compute
- Secure access to virtual machines.
- Implement endpoint protection and keep systems patched and current.
- Malware, unpatched systems, and improperly secured systems open your environment to attacks.
-> Networking
- Limit communication between resources.
- Deny by default.
- Allow only what is required
- Restrict inbound internet access and limit outbound, where appropriate.
- Implement secure connectivity to on-premises networks.
-> Perimeter
- Use distributed denial of service (DDoS) protection to filter large-scale attacks before they can cause a denial of service for end users.
- Use perimeter firewalls to identify and alert on malicious attacks against your network.
-> Identity and access
- Control access to infrastructure and change control.
- Access granted is only what is needed
- Use single sign-on and multi-factor authentication.
- Audit events and changes.
-> Physical security
- Building security & controlling access to computing hardware.
- First line of defense.
