👉 Defensive engineering, also known as countermeasures or defense-in-depth strategies, involves the design and implementation of multiple layers of security measures to protect against potential threats and attacks. This approach integrates physical, technical, and procedural defenses to create a comprehensive security framework. Physically, it includes robust barriers like walls, fences, and surveillance systems to deter intruders. Technically, it encompasses firewalls, intrusion detection systems, encryption, and secure communication protocols to safeguard digital assets. Procedurally, it involves strict access controls, regular security audits, and employee training to ensure that all personnel understand their role in maintaining security. By combining these elements, defensive engineering aims to minimize vulnerabilities and enhance the overall resilience of a system or facility against various forms of attacks, thereby ensuring its safety and integrity.
