In its study, NSS looked at 37 security products from 24 vendors and layered them in pairs, creating 606 unique combinations. Only three percent of those combinations were able to detect the 1,711 known exploits used in the test.

"Layered defense is still good to do," Frei said in an interview. "However, what we found was the products that you combine is of paramount importance. ...You need to really know what products to combine."

One pitfall to avoid with layered security is using products from the same vendor. That's because all of a single vendor's products are based on the same technology and security intelligence.

"Failure correlation between products from the same vendor is extremely high," Frei said. "If you want to benefit from layered security, you have to mix different products from different vendors."
