SECURITY

Security is the practice of protecting individuals, property, information, or organizations from harm, danger, or unwanted intrusion. At its core, security involves identifying potential threats—such as theft, violence, cyber attacks, or disruption—and implementing layered measures to prevent, detect, and respond to these risks.

There are several fundamental components of security:

• Physical Security: Safeguarding people and assets from physical threats with measures like locks, barriers, surveillance cameras, and security personnel.

• Information Security: Protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction using methods such as encryption, passwords, and access controls.

• Personal Security: Taking proactive steps—such as self-defense training, situational awareness, and emergency preparedness—to ensure individual safety and well-being in daily life and in response to emergent threats.

Security is an ongoing process that requires continual assessment and adaptation as risks and environments evolve. Effective security builds confidence and peace of mind by minimizing vulnerabilities and preparing clear responses to potential incidents
