ers of security. The layers must provide comprehensive security

allow the law enforcement/security officer (Officer) response
forces to engage the threat.

to breach a facility's perimeter or other controlled areas, thus
allowing for an effective officer response.

prevents the threat actor from engaging the protected assets.
