Benefit of Defense in Layers

According to this article at Riskmanagement Magazine, there is taking place a new phenomeno comming from the mix of use of personal and professional computing.

As compatibility between personal and professional life is a more demanded expectation, business computers are currently used even for personal and for professional issues (as Gartner says). Traditional answer from IT and HR staff was "no, you can't use the computer for personal themes".

But if Information Security is implemented using the "defense in layers" pattern, there will be no problem to consider every access to network as hostile and let people make a personal and professional use of their computers.
