Security Summary

Security must be multi-layered: protecting hardware, software, applications, and cloud together.
Defence-in-depth ensures that even if one layer is compromised, others continue to safeguard the system.
Effective security requires continuous patching, strong identity management, and shared responsibility with cloud providers.
A structured HW-to-Cloud approach reduces operational risk, compliance gaps, and business disruption.

Robust end-to-end security is about technology and ensuring resilience, trust, and business continuity across the entire stack.
