This makes completeness a critical criterion for a robust security strategy. Understanding the fundamental methodologies to divide your defenses into layers will pay dividends throughout your security career. We also delved into standardizing security practices to achieve optimal efficiency. A simple system is almost certainly more secure than a complex one; similarly, a uniform security practice is often more comprehensive than a divided one. We learned how we can use security practices as a tool to drive uniform security posture at a large scale. Another key piece in the puzzle is regulatory compliance. We took a high-level tour of common regulatory...
