EATON
Cyber defences: always up. Always on. Cybersecurity is a priority for businesses, and as threats become more numerous, defence has to be layered and an important part of this is power – something that can be overlooked, as Eaton explain.
Cybersecurity is no longer a single control or product. Modern defence is layered, interconnected, and only as strong as its weakest dependency. While organisations invest heavily in detection, response and prevention, one foundational requirement is often overlooked: reliable power. A layered security strategy only works if the infrastructure supporting it stays online. The layered security model A practical cyber defence approach spans seven layers:
Layer
Focus
Example Technologies
Where power fits Firewalls, servers, storage, backup platforms and security appliances are useless if they lose power. Eaton UPS and power management solutions ensure: ⚡ Security controls remain operational during outages ⚡ Data integrity is preserved during unexpected shutdowns ⚡ Recovery processes can complete without interruption.
Human
Awareness & behaviour
Training, phishing defence
Perimeter
Edge protection Firewalls, gateways
Network
Internal visibility
Segmentation, monitoring
Application
App-level defence WAF, patching
Endpoint
Device security
EDR, encryption
Data
Protection & recovery
Backup, immutability
Mission-critical assets
Availability
Power, resilience
In short: no power, no protection.
Security tools operate across these layers, but power underpins them all.
