defense system

A defense system is an organized set of measures, equipment, or mechanisms designed to protect against attack or harm.
The term spans from military applications—missile defense systems, air defense systems—to biological contexts: The body's immune system is its primary defense system against infection.
Security networks and protective protocols also qualify: The company upgraded its cyber defense system after the breach.
