Detection and response
Defense in depth
Overlapping controls so that when one fails, another still catches or contains the attack.
No single control stops everything, so defences are layered: a firewall at the edge, a sinkhole at the resolver, honeypots inside, host monitoring on each machine, and a response runbook for when something still gets through. Each layer mixes prevention (block it) with detection (notice it), so a miss at one layer is caught at the next. The labs here are the detection-and-response layers behind the perimeter.
