Have been refreshing myself on CEH and CISSP studies. Looking over the OSI model I noticed that all layers have been hacked! Perhaps its time for another layer: THE SECURE LAYER-LAYER 8. Perhaps this would fit true with a "layered" approach to security.
On the other hand, implementing security at Layer 8 almost guarantees that it's a "bolt on after the fact". Also, "defense in depth" (which is what you probably *mean* by "layered" - multiple security layers) suggests that there should be components at all 7 layers. Everything from "Do it via copper rather than wireless" (a layer 1 issue) to "Deploy switches/configs that are resistant to MAC address spoofing" through crypto and other stuff at the higher layers...
