What are the 4 phases in a Security Stack?

How do they help us?

Which one is the most important?

Episode summary

The 4 phases of a Security Stack are: Learn, Prevent, Detect, and Repair. This parallels how an attack affects us over time.

We want to Learn about an attack before it hits us, and ideally Prevent it from succeeding. But just in case it does get past our defenses, we want to be sure we can Detect the attack and Repair the damage done.

Call to action

Please build this awesome system together with me by sharing your thoughts. Are the 4 phases - learn, prevent, detect, repair - sufficiently simple and clear to you? Let me know on the forum.
