Implementing multiple layers in security is providing a defense-in-depth mechanism and therefore stronger protection for the network and users. Multiple layers provide multiple roadblocks for a user and an attacker. Having multiple controls in place before something can be accessed may be tiresome for a user; however, the goal is to have the same effect on an attacker. If an attacker is able to find a weakness and access a companys network, additional layers of security might stop the attacker from reaching other systems, applications, or sensitive data.

Assignment Requirements: Explain how the following are associated with multi-layer security.

Confidentiality, authentication, and integrity

Traditional access control models and technologies

Traditional security models and technologies

Administrative, physical, and logical controls

Remote access technologies

Threats to control practices and technologies.

You may want to describe a scenario using the above. For example, select an organization or facility. What controls are between the parking lot to the information stored on the network? What is being protected? Can you access the information from the coffee shop during lunch? And etc. Be creative. The page requirement is longer than previously written assignments. FOUR pages are required for submission.
