Security is very essential for any company whether large or even a small startup. One must remain aware of the potential security threats facing the company. According to research done on security issues facing organizations, it shows that information security is a major concern for all modern organizations (Knapp, Marshall, Rainer, & Morrow, 2006). In the past, protecting information just meant keeping it locked in a safe or drawer. However, in this era of virtual criminal activities, all information in the organization’s computers and all other systems must be protected. The level of sophistication from criminal entities, rival organizations, different governments and ...

Question1

For this particular scenario, I would use several layers of security because this compound is comprised of various components or buildings each having different significance or importance. Using different security for each layer would ensure that even if intruders are able to breach through one layer, they will be incapable of breaching the other layers using the same techniques that they might have used for the previous one (Bernard, 2007). I would, therefore, invite the best security experts to ensure the particular component of security that has been used one layer is not used on the other. The corporate ...

There is disagreement among scholars in establishing a universally acceptable definition for the concept of private security. The digressions seem to center on the factors of job responsibilities, the persuasion of revenue and the customer, and the involvement of products. These will include production, allocation, and fitting of equipment and machinery. Nevertheless, there have been attempts to define private security.

The RAND Institute construed private security as “all types of private organizations and individuals providing all types of security-related services, including investigation, guard, patrol, lie detection, alarm, and armored transportation,” as given in the research of Kakalik and ...
