What concept is at the center in the concentric circles model of defense in depth? ()

The correct answer is C. Assets. In the defense-in-depth model visualized as concentric circles, the asset (data, systems, or resources being protected) sits at the center. Each surrounding layer represents a control type-physical, administrative, and logical/technical-that must be breached before an attacker…

Explanation

In the defense-in-depth model visualized as concentric circles, the asset (data, systems, or resources being protected) sits at the center. Each surrounding layer represents a control type-physical, administrative, and logical/technical-that must be breached before an attacker can reach the core asset. This model illustrates the principle that multiple overlapping layers of security force an attacker to defeat each ring, making it progressively harder to reach and compromise the protected asset.
