Global StandardsAlso known as concentric "rings of protection," a concept of providing multiple independent and overlapping layers of protection in depth. For security purposes, this may include various layers of protection such as countersurveillance, counterintelligence, physical security, and cyber security. A second consideration is the balance of the security measures such that equivalent risk exists regardless of the threat's pathway or method.
