Defense in Depth Culture
Noun · Hacker Culture
Definitions
A culture that assumes single safeguards will fail and therefore builds multiple layers of protection, review, and recovery. In security-minded teams, defense in depth becomes a habit of thinking rather than just a diagram in an architecture deck.
In plain English: A culture of using multiple layers of protection instead of relying on a single safeguard.
Example: "Their defense in depth culture showed in small habits like scoped credentials, audit logs, review gates, and not trusting any one control to save them."
