The OSI reference model for networking (ISO 7498-1) is designed around seven layers arranged in a stack. The OSI security architecture reference model (ISO 7498-2) is also designed around seven layers, reflecting a high level view of the different requirements within network security.

Layers (ISO 7498-1) ISO 7498-2 Security Model
Application Authentication
Presentation Access Control
Session Non-Repudiation
Transport Data Integrity
Network Confidentiality
