Security Strategies of Defense in Depth
Introduction
Security Strategy of Defense in Depth is a method where an organization can protect its’
computer network several defensive techniques such that when one of the technique fails,
another technique will immediately replace that one and prevent the threat or attack. Hackers
nowadays use a variety of methods to attack and gain access to a network computer of an
organization and that means that there is no single strategy that can be used to hinder the attacks
so it is more advisable to use the security strategy of defense in depth to minimize the risk of
having an attack into the network of an organization.
There are three main methods of attack to a network computer which includes the
following, attack by script kiddie from the internet, attack by a skilled hacker and attack by a
trusted network user who has the authority to access the network.
1. Script Kiddie Attack
This is a person who is intentional looking for something to easily attack. Their intention
is not to attack a specific person or a specific company but only searching the internet to observe
the people who are careless and thus who they can find vulnerable to attack easily. The script
kiddie is very dangerous because they do not worry about who they are attacking but what they
just want is to launch an attack to anything on the internet they feel to be easy to attack. Usually,
these types of attacks take a very small amount of time to cause a very serious damage ( Luo,
2016).

The only way to prevent the script kiddie attack is by having or installing a strong
defense in depth to the network of an organization. Usually, a firewall should be installed to
check on the out bounding and the inbounding network traffic and thus it will create a very
strong defense in depth to the organization. But still relying only on the firewall for the defensive
