The Cyber Moat

Learn why layered security is essential in the era of cloud and hybrid work.

As organizations move to cloud, hybrid, and decentralized IT, firewalls and antivirus software are no longer sufficient as primary defenses. This paper explains why relying on perimeter-based tools leaves businesses vulnerable, and outlines how to build a layered, future-proof cybersecurity strategy with Zero Trust, AI-driven detection, endpoint protection, and strong workforce policies

Key Takeaways

  • Firewalls still matter, but cannot protect cloud apps, remote workers, or SaaS platforms alone.

  • Traditional antivirus is obsolete—replaced by EDR/XDR and AI-powered threat detection.

  • Securing personal devices and hybrid workforces requires MDM, CASB, and least-privilege access.

  • A multi-layered approach—Zero Trust, AI, cloud security, and employee training—is the only way to defend against modern threats.
