Protect Your Castle: A Multi-Layered Cybersecurity Defense Strategy

Farica Chang

By Managing Principal Farica Chang

Imagine your business as a majestic castle, standing tall on a hill. Its walls, moat, and towers protect the treasures within—the data, systems, and sensitive information that keep your organization running smoothly. Just like a castle, your IT infrastructure relies on layers of defense to thwart cyber threats. Mark Anderson has used this example for years, and we love finally being able to share it with the world in this animated form.

Just as a castle’s defenses work together, your cybersecurity strategy should be multi-layered. By combining firewalls, access controls, encryption, and vigilant monitoring, you create a fortress that withstands the digital siege.

Check out this quick sound bite from our latest webinar that brings home how all the components of a multi-layered cybersecurity defense strategy come together to secure your organization. And whether you’re a tech enthusiast or a curious novice, embrace the castle analogy—it demystifies cybersecurity and empowers you to protect your digital realm!

In 2022, Hadley and her husband Corbitt decided to return to St. Louis to join the family business. As part of the second generation, Hadley brought fresh perspectives from her time at AT&T and was drawn to helping the company grow the right way by implementing scalable systems and processes, while maintaining the core value-centric culture.
 
As a Project Manager, Hadley facilitated technical projects and the development of interdepartmental playbooks while gaining a deep understanding of the inner workings of the business operations. Now, as the Project Management Lead, Hadley is known for her driven, process-oriented leadership and her dedication to finding solutions for every challenge no matter how daunting it may first seem.

Born in Yokohama, Japan, and raised in Malaysia and St. Louis, Corbitt developed a unique global perspective. He graduated from Randolph-Macon College with a degree in Political Science and Spanish where he was a member of the men’s basketball team.

Before joining Anderson Technologies, Corbitt built a successful career at AT&T which initially started in the B2B Sales Development Program – a highly-competitive sales training where he was stack-ranked against his 100+ peers based on quota attainment to determine where in the company one was placed. In Chicago, as part of the National Fiber Organization, he became a top-performing sales professional, selling AT&T’s fiber, networking, and cybersecurity services and learning the value of relationship building, perseverance, and grit. Later, as a Senior Sales Solutions Engineer at AT&T headquarters in Dallas, he refined his technical expertise, leadership skills, and consulting abilities.

Currently pursuing his MBA at Washington University in St. Louis, Corbitt blends strategic thinking, technical knowledge, and a client-first approach to help Anderson Technologies continue serving companies and organizations across the country.
