Security News > 2021 > May > Building Multilayered Security for Modern Threats
Considering recent announcements of major attacks caused by external malicious actors, including a ransomware attack on a U.S. gasoline pipeline, the need for increased security posture is as important as ever, and multilayered security remains the key.
President Joe Biden signed an executive order this week that includes initiatives aimed at improving the nation's cybersecurity; across the Atlantic, a recent report by the U.K.'s National Cyber Security Centre shows how the U.K. is ramping up its cybersecurity defense measures.
Having a multi-layered security approach is the best way to decrease the likelihood of a successful breach or security compromise.
While some layers of security may seem trivial or obvious, they are all equally important.
Specifically, machine learning via network detection and response systems should almost always be deployed to aid network and security teams in identifying malicious traffic.
With many organizations allowing vaccinated workers back into the office and allowing employees to decide when or if to return, the shift to a hybrid security model is almost certain to become permanent.
