Layered Security Framework

Definition ∞ A Layered Security Framework employs multiple, independent security controls positioned at different operational levels of a system. This approach means that if one security measure fails, another layer acts as a backup, preventing a complete system compromise. It creates a robust defense against various attack vectors.
Context ∞ In the context of blockchain and digital asset platforms, a layered security framework is essential for protecting against sophisticated threats. This involves combining cryptographic security, network-level defenses, smart contract audits, and operational safeguards. Implementing such a framework helps mitigate risks across the entire digital asset ecosystem, from individual wallets to large-scale exchanges.
