I wasn't sure how to format the transcript, but I put in something for starters - feel free to adjust as needed. I don't think the arrow directions for each layer are significant and are just random. Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 14:53, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
Is there any significance to the two thin layers inserted between the larger labels in the stack? I don't think so, but I'm not sure either way! Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 15:08, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
- I would say that the thin layers are actually boundaries between major parts of the stack. The lower one seems to be a boundary between hardware/firmware and (system & application) software, the upper one a boundary between a software product/system/framework as released/sold and the same system as installed/configured at a particular site (the "customer" layer suggests that to me) -- Malgond (talk) 16:17, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
- I was thinking something along those lines, but I thought it was strange there was one inserted between the compromises by a current and a past employee. (A compromise by a past employee was likely implemented while they were employed, maybe as a backdoor they can access after leaving the company.) Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 17:34, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
