Course Overview

Why is security management and asset protection important?

Threats are not to be taken with levity; as such, a certain degree of seriousness must be attached to security. This will prevent the intrusion of dangerous elements – human and non-human alike from causing harm to persons and their property, whether animate or inanimate. As there are levels of threat, there should be a proportional, adequate or commensurate level of security in place for any of the threats. Adequacy of security measures is very important as the lack or inadequacy of such security protection may result in theft of assets or other means of loss.
