Businesses today are faced with a range of security challenges unlike any of those that their predecessors have ever faced. Among these different challenges are the physical protection of the building and the protection of data and intellectual property. This may sound like a relatively easy mission; however, each of these two types of security has a number of different elements to it, and the interplay of these elements can make the process of keeping a company or organization secure.

This definition of security can be phrased as the "intentional actions whose purpose is to provide guarantees of safety to subjects, both in the present and in the future'
