Getting inside their defenses. For example, if I had a wall built around my castle and you knocked a hole in it, your soldiers could then get inside and my defenses would be breached. That's the literal meaning.
It's sometimes used in a non-literal sense. If I swore never to fall in love, and you managed to make me love you, you would have "breached my defenses" emotionally, gotten inside the barrier I had raised.

Breaching is opening, or crossing. It comes from siege warfare. Say you have a castle with a moat and a wall surrounding it. Then someone comes along and bridges your moat and knocks down a section of wall. They have breached your defenses.

breach means: failure to mantain something. and breaching someone's defense means to break someone's defense, or to crack their defense.

I'm sorry but after watching how many seasons of CSI, I can only find one interpretation for this. *sudden chuckling*

It means their defence mechanisms didn't work.
