IA strategy integrating people, technology, and operations capabilities to establish variable barriers across multiple layers and dimensions of networks. Synonymous with securityindepth. Provision of several overlapping subsequent limiting barriers with respect to one safety or security threshold, so that the threshold can only be surpassed if all barriers have failed. The practice of layering defenses to provide added protection. Security is increased by raising the cost to mount the attack. This system places multiple barriers between an attacker and an organization’s business critical information resources. This strategy also provides natural areas for the implementation of intrusiondetection technologies.

<p><b>1. Initiation and planning</b><br>
At this stage, the administration initiates and plans the implementation of the
program. A C&A implementation expert lays out the documentation (including the
business case and requirement documents) and presents it to the administration
in the form of a comprehensive C&A package.<br>
</p>
<p><b>2. Certification</b><br>
At this stage, an external auditing team analyzes the C&A package and the
information security systems of the organization. The audits will include
running vulnerability scans, conducting interviews, and checking if everything
complies with the accepted standards and norms.<br>
</p>
<p><b>3. Accreditation</b><br>
In the accreditation stage, the certifying authority will review the compiled
C&A package and will also go through the recommendations put forward by the
auditing team. Before granting the accreditation, the authority will make its
examination and see if there is a possibility of accepting non-remedied risks in
the system.<br>
</p>
<p><b>4. Periodic monitoring</b><br>
The system, the personnel, and the whole organization in general will be
monitored periodically by a team whose sole responsibility is to ensure that the
program stays operational as it should. Any risks, vulnerabilities, or threats
that might arise during the monitoring stage will also have to be dealt with by
the security enforcers of the organization.<br>
