  • Conceptual representation of a generic application

  • Layered diagrams come naturally to networking weenies

  • Attempt to identify all components in an application transaction

  • Act as an aid for identifying risks and placing security measures

  • Put security ON THE THING TO BE SECURED

  • Don't rely on one layer to solve another layer's problems
