What happened?
- Each layer catches what another misses.
- Detection assumes breach attempts.
- Reviews keep access honest as staff change.
Practice next
- Threat-model ShopNest checkout.
- Ensure at least one control per layer.
- Alert on admin privilege grants.
- Add red-team notes into the threat model.
- Automate inactive account disable.
Remember
Defense in depth. Detect and respond. Review continuously.
