The Three Lines of Defense and Cybersecurity

In the wake of the financial crisis, the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) came up with a model for risk management and called it the Three Lines of Defense (3LoD) model. 3LoD traces its origins to the managing of operational risk in large organizations, especially financial institutions.

The main objective of the 3LoD framework is to ensure the effective segregation of duties for all business functions and better accountability for the stakeholders of those functions.
