Layering: Cyber security uses multiple layers of defense or protecting information. If one layer is defeated the next layer should catch it.

Information Hiding: Information hiding is any attempt to prevent people from being able to see information. It can be hiding the content of a letter, or it can be applied to hiding how the letter is delivered. Both ways can prevent people from being able to see the information. This lesson looks at how malicious information can be hidden in URLs or other data fields.
