  AUTHORS: Lance Cleghorn

  KEYWORDS: Defense in Depth, Defense in Breadth; Network Defense; Security Architecture; Defense Methodology; Information Assurance

  JOURNAL NAME: Journal of Information Security, Vol.4 No.3, July 12, 2013

  ABSTRACT: The defense in depth methodology was popularized in the early 2000’s amid growing concerns for information security; this paper will address the shortcomings of early implementations. In the last two years, many supporters of the defense in depth security methodology have changed their allegiance to an offshoot method dubbed the defense in breadth methodology. A substantial portion of this paper’s body will be devoted to comparing real-world usage scenarios and discussing the flaws in each method. A major goal of this publication will be to assist readers in selecting a method that will best benefit their personal environment. Scenarios certainly exist where one method may be clearly favored; this article will help identify the factors that make one method a clear choice over another. This paper will strive not only to highlight key strengths and weaknesses for the two strategies listed, but also provide the evaluation techniques necessary for readers to apply to other popular methodologies in order to make the most appropriate personal determinations.
