Security - an Attitude which has a cumulative effect
If you stop to think about it, security awareness in your personal life spills over to your business and political considerations.
As an example, people who live in multi-dwelling buildings believe they are extra safe because there is a doorman and other staff working in the building. Business owners believe they are secure just because they have an alarm and a contracted responder company.Many citizen/voters believe we will be safe if we act nice to other countries.
Each of these attitudes towards security come from the individual’s personal feelings and perceptions. Unfortunately, even though that combined attitude may make a person or business feel good, it demonstrates a fear of examining reality.
Perceived security as oppose to real security is no security. Wishing to be safe and secure - hoping that you are safe and secure - are the dreams of fools.
Take an active role in your security process. Make sure that what is being done is reasonable and has a high preemption/denial/deterrence value.
Security is your responsibility. Some folk believe that all security should be turned over to others - the government or the private sector. Letting either control your security without your input - delegating to others duties which are yours alone, or delegating duties without oversight - is also dangerous to your welfare.
Therefore it is imperative that you understand what security is - how it affects your life - how it should function - so that you may know when actions taken are or are not in your own best interest.
