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.
