Description: Juxtaposed security measures are a comprehensive approach in cybersecurity that involves the simultaneous implementation of multiple layers of protection. This concept is based on the premise that no single security measure is infallible on its own; therefore, by combining different strategies and technologies, a more robust and resilient environment against threats can be created. Measures may include firewalls, intrusion detection systems, multifactor authentication, data encryption, and restricted access policies, among others. The idea is that if one layer of security is breached, the others continue to protect the system, thereby reducing the risk of a successful attack. This approach is particularly relevant in the context of Zero Trust security, where it is assumed that threats can exist both inside and outside the network, requiring verification of every access and transaction. Juxtaposed security measures not only enhance protection but also facilitate incident detection and response, allowing organizations to quickly adapt to an ever-evolving threat landscape.
