Defense in Depth Strategy Optimizes Security

Intel IT developed a defense in depth strategy that optimizes security using interlocking prediction, prevention, detection, and response capabilities. It recognizes that attackers are human opponents who constantly evolve new tactics and that it would be prohibitively expensive - and near impossible - to protect against every vulnerability. Its strategy uses prediction to gain insights into the most likely threats, attack methods, and targets. This allows one to proactively and efficiently focus its prevention, detection, and response resources. Leamings from each of these areas feeds back to its prediction teams, creating a performance improvement loop that helps its strategy continually evolve to intercept emerging threats.
