2. WHY SECURITY?
Security implies a stable, relatively predictable environment in which an individual or group may
pursue its ends without disruptions or harm and without fear of disturbance or injury. Security
concerns are mostly related- but not limited- to malevolent human acts. Examples include The
September 11 attacks on The World Trade Center, The Oklahoma City bombing, and the
shootings at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. Safety issues then, refers to
abnormal environments. This might include electrical shorts, fires, hurricanes, chemical spills
and other kind of accidents.
Some business entities and institutions see the value of utilizing highly trained security
professionals to enhance the business overall performance. but not all businesses and
institutions are quick to embrace such a high standard, and see security as an added expense
they cannot afford. Usually, They fail to implement and maintain an integrated security system,
and sooner or later, security incidents happen taking a high toll of personal and property loss.
