Learning Paths

Defense in Depth

Walk through the distinct control planes, from provenance to incident response and adversarial testing, and learn what each one decides and what it does not.

Audience
Security architects, AppSec teams, technical leads
Approximate time
About 3 to 4 hours
Prerequisites
Foundations path; Agents path recommended

Learning objectives

  • Name what each control plane decides
  • Avoid collapsing trust, authorization, flow and reachability into one score
  • Explain why deterministic controls are fixed rather than only adding prompts or classifiers
  • Plan response and testing around evidence states

Path sequence

Go deeper (optional)

Knowledge check

Think through each question, then open it to compare with the expected reasoning. There is no score.

A strong detector is in place. Can authorization checks be relaxed?

No. Detection is probabilistic evidence; authorization is a deterministic decision. Each must hold when the other misses.

An output passed schema validation. Is it safe to insert into HTML?

Not by itself. Validation checks structure; sink-specific encoding or escaping is still required at the destination.

A sandbox is in place. Does that decide whether data may leave?

No. Containment caps side effects; information flow control and egress policy decide data release and network reach.

After this path, you should be able to...

  • Map each control to the decision it owns
  • Design layered defenses without a blended trust score
  • Plan incident response around evidence states
  • Interpret adversarial test results without overclaiming
