Layered security uses different measures that cover each other's weaknesses. Guards control entry and patrol, K9 units add detection and deterrence, and escorts manage VIP and valuable movement. Together they give better coverage than any one alone, if they share a plan and a point of contact.
Key takeaways
- Layers cover each other's gaps.
