Q. Building a Defense in networking?
When building a defense you must use a layered approach that includes securing
- The network infrastructure the communications protocols,
- Servers,
- Applications that run on the server as well as the file system and
Require a few form of user authentication.
When you configure a strong layered defence an intruder has to break by several layers to reach his or her objective.
- For illustration to compromise a file on a server that is part of your internal network a hacker would have to
Break your network security
Crack the server's security
Crack an application's security and
Crack the local file system's security.
