Episode summary

There are 6 types of layers we can review to help us build a Security Stack. They help us build redundancy into our Security Stack. Yes, that's a good thing! We want as many layers of defense as we can to keep the bad guys out.

We divide the 6 layers into 2 groups of 3. We have the solo layers: knowledge, skills, and habits.

And the team layers: people, tools and services.
