The word security is derived from the Latin "Se-Cura" which translates to: "without fear". 'Security' is therefore the state of being secure; it is to be without fear of harm.

One of the greatest challenges of the modern world is how we can ensure our security and safety in the face of the global economic crisis where security has become the key to survival and success. The modern security challenge is defined by new and unprecedented threats: organized crimes and safety threats.
