Network Security Model

A well structured NSM will give the security community a way to study, implement, and maintain network security that can be applied to any network. In study, it can be used as a tool to breakdown network security into seven simple layers with a logical process. Traditional books have always presented network security in an unorganized fashion where some books cover issues that other books may completely neglect. In implementation, it can be used by network architects to insure that they are not missing any important security details while designing a network.

In maintaining existing networks it can be used to develop maintenance schedules and life-cycles for the security of the existing network. It can also be used to detect where breaches have occurred so that an attack can be mitigated.
