You’ve outlined an excellent model for network security with an emphasis on layered controls. I agree technical, administrative, and physical controls, when combined, offer a solid, secure barrier. Technical controls like firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, multi-factor authentication, and encryption prevent malicious actors from unauthorized access and encrypt sensitive data. Administrative controls like policy, training, and role-based access inform users of their responsibilities and limit exposure if their credentials are compromised. Physical controls such as locked server rooms and badge access add another layer of security. All of these are collectively elements of a defense-in-depth strategy that reduces risk, prevents expected failures, and assists in ensuring business continuity—just the type of security posture organizations need to have.
