Although cybersecurity threats continue to be an increasing issue, there are also many methods to help mitigate from such attacks from occurring. In order to be determine the best strategy an enterprise really needs to evaluate their specific risks and threats for their industry. Utilizing multiple layers of protection over the computer and programs on a network are giving the organization better defense from a cyberattack. This to include utilizing network access controls which essential in determining who can access from on-site, remote access and devices that connect to it. According to Wainwright (2018), “A single solution simply can’t be expected to offer the same high level of protection for everything, from data to the methods of communication and the network itself. Use of multiple layers of security can help target those specific areas under threat” (p.1). The multi-layer approach will also be expected to expand to employee policies, procedures and physical access and security if applicable.

GCU would greatly benefit from the depth of defense approach as well. Layering such methods would include routers firewalls, IDS, traffic analyzers and IT professionals who monitor for any suspicious activity. Lastly, have automation practices or mechanisms available to respond to network intruders by removing access to the system is also something to consider to add extra security defense.
