I am a strong believer in the Swiss cheese model[1] of risk mitigation. I first learnt about this through pilot training and apply it throughout my professional life now.

A lot of comments here are saying "don't do x, do y." or "x and y are useless, you should just do z".

The Swiss cheese model helps you visualise that adding and recognising having many layers of defense carry value and should be recognised as such.
