ABSTRACT

Unquestionably, security is complex. Whether one likes it or not, agrees or not, security permeates every aspect of today’s business-security can, and does, exist at every layer within an environment. From physical security in the form of locks, barbed wire, metal detectors, and exotic plants, such as the formidable Dendrocnide,1 to social and cultural demands on security operations, security-or the lack thereof-is everywhere. Given the convoluted reality of security, managing the required aspects of security can become overwhelming for many organizations, not to mention costly.
