👉 A budget weapon, also known as a defense-in-depth or cost-effective defense system, refers to a strategic approach in cybersecurity that utilizes limited resources to protect an organization's assets against cyber threats. This method prioritizes essential security measures and investments, focusing on the most critical vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors. By allocating funds to high-impact solutions like robust access controls, regular security audits, and employee training, organizations can create a layered defense that effectively deters and mitigates cyber attacks without requiring an exhaustive budget for every possible threat. This approach ensures that even with constrained financial resources, the organization remains resilient and capable of responding to evolving cyber risks.
