Why One Security Layer Isn't Enough

If the only thing between your client's data and a prompt injection attack is one filter, you don't have security. You have hope.

This is not a hypothetical. This is a Tuesday.

Multi-tenant SaaS is the foundation of modern enterprise software. Every customer shares infrastructure. Every customer trusts that their data is invisible to everyone else. And that trust is maintained not by one security feature, but by layers of architectural decisions that most users never see and most developers don't think about until something breaks.
