Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Defense in depth is a layered security approach that incorporates multiple countermeasures to prevent, detect, and mitigate attacks. A successful attack would require breaching multiple layers of defense, which increases the difficulty and likelihood of detection. Weakest link analysis, on the other hand, focuses on identifying the weakest security link in a chain and improving it, but it does not necessarily involve multiple countermeasures. Therefore, the correct answer is A) Defense in depth.
