National security is to be understood in multiple contexts. Firstly the physical security of the nation from alien threats, and intrusions, secondly damages to vital infrastructure and thirdly anti-national activities by organizations that may lead to an emergency in the country or at an international level causing diplomatic problems.

Some of the local organized mafias also have foreign links either to harbor funds that are ill gotten or for tax evasion and thus crime runs parallel to terrorism and national threats. It is a vast subject and therefore the implications from all of these are covered in brief.
