Defence in Depth

Multiple layers of security controls protecting your infrastructure

Layered Security Strategy

Defence in Depth is a security strategy that uses multiple independent layers of protection. If one layer is compromised, the remaining layers continue to provide security.

Security Layers

  • Network Layer — Firewalls, network segmentation, VPN, PrivateLink.
  • Application Layer — Input validation, output encoding, authentication, authorization.
  • Data Layer — Encryption at rest and in transit, access controls, audit logging.
  • Monitoring Layer — Intrusion detection, anomaly detection, SIEM integration.

Signando's Multi-Layer Protection

Signando implements defence in depth through its four-zone architecture: PUBLIC, NORMAL, HIGH, and VERY HIGH zones. Each zone adds additional security controls, with Application Layer Gateways filtering traffic between zones.
