> Layering may create more complexity in the system overall Have you ever heard of the `swiss cheese method of security`, where each slice of cheese has a hole in it? The idea being: each slice may have a hole, but when sandwiched together, the route of entry is blocked. I've heard the adage: 'complexity enlarges the attack surface' before, but not in all cases especially. Sometimes security 'maxims' get in the way of security.
