What's Your Security Maturity Level?
Not long ago, I met up with a friend. Don't recall how but our meet up ended discussing regarding "security"! She asked me what it means "security" in your perspective. So I started to talk, explain and gave examples too. She said do you think it might be part of capture or related to it in anyhow? I was like "?????" What's kind of question was that? At the end she lend me a book. That night I think I had nightmare; risks, security, authentication, threats and confidentiality! I started to read the book. Honestly it was so boring with a huge need of dictionary finally I was done but with full and new knowledge. My appreciation to that friend who gave me the chance to read and understand the real meaning of security; nationally, internationally, professionally and personally. Security is a really big topic, and it's very important. If you look around you; you will realized everything is almost is secured either by you or someone else. Simply even our mobile phones are secured with a pin-code! All of us have different reasons for doing that but no matter how important is that reason the most important and sharing reason among all of us is to keep whatever data we have "safe". This broad-ranging new text introduces a wide range of theoretical perspectives with a central focus on their application to understanding key issues in global, state and human security in the contemporary world. This book is the best guide for those studying or working in Political science and International relations. .
