Summary

The security landscape is in a perpetual state of evolution, advancing in tandem with the identification of new vulnerabilities. In this ongoing dynamic, defenders and attackers play a constant game of cat and mouse. In this chapter, we embarked on a journey to comprehend the ever-changing threat vectors, juxtaposing them against the backdrop of DiD techniques. Our aim was to forge a robust understanding of modern security paradigms.

We delved into common misconceptions surrounding DiD, recognizing it as more than a static set of security controls aimed at thwarting attacks layer by layer. At its core, DiD embodies adaptability. Exploring the concept further, we introduced deceptive security controls as a crucial layer of defense, enabling active monitoring of attacker movements within controlled environments. Additionally, we briefly examined the imperative balance between security and usability, a perennial debate in the field.

Subsequently, we ventured into the realm...
