I wouldn't want to strain your intellectual abilities,
so I'll use it in a sentence or two.

The Great Wall protected China for many years, until their
enemies overran it.

The Klingon Battle Cruiser's energy shields protected it,
until overcome by the superior fire power of the Enterprise's
phasers.

Kobe Bryant's accuser's identity was protected by law, by
the state, by the courts, and by the media, until a small
number of persons breached that protection (after which the
vast majority continued to protect it).  Kobe Bryant's
identity, on the other hand, was never protected.  Period.
