Layered Security

Layered SecurityFuture Computing Solutions, Inc.

There is no single control that keeps an organization safe, which is inconvenient, because single controls are what most of the market sells. Layered security starts from the assumption that any one of them will eventually fail, and makes sure that failure is not the whole story.

We build the layers around what you already have: perimeter, network segmentation, endpoint, identity, and the data itself. The point is not to add more products. It is to make sure that when something gets through the first layer, the second one is already waiting.

The other half of the job is making it operable. Controls your team cannot run are controls you do not really have, and controls you cannot evidence will not satisfy an auditor no matter how good they are.

What the strategy covers

  • Controls at the perimeter, network, endpoint, identity and data layers
  • Segmentation, so a compromised device does not mean a compromised network
  • Long-standing relationships with the major security vendors, without being locked to one
  • Reporting built for the frameworks you are actually assessed against

What layering buys you

We work with the top security vendors on the market, but the value is in how the pieces are arranged rather than which logos are on them.

No single point of failure

When one control is bypassed, the next one is already in place. That is the entire design, and it is why incidents get contained instead of publicized.

Less routine work for your team

Software-defined controls stay current on their own. Your people spend their time on the incidents that matter rather than on tracking patch levels.

Answers when somebody asks

Auditors, insurers and boards all want the same thing, which is proof. Reporting comes out of the platform rather than out of a spreadsheet somebody maintains by hand.

Tell us what you are running
