Multilayer User Access Control

Learning Objectives and Outcomes

• Identify what implementation method(s) can be used to incorporate multilayer access control
• Describe and how each method benefits multilayered access control.

Assignment RequirementsRead the worksheet named “Multilayer User Access Control”(ws_multilayeraccesscontrol) and address the following:Using what you have learned about building a multilayer access control system, identify what implementation method(s) can be used and how each method benefits multilayered access control.

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 road blocks for a user and

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 hole and

access a company’s network, additional layers of security might stop the attacker from reaching other

systems, applications, or sensitive data.

In this exercise, you will learn about creating layers within the network.
