SECURITY MANAGEMENT: THE ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

Security management is a difficult task as everyone agrees that security is a problem. As such, this work aims at addressing the ever increasing security challenge confronting us as individuals from the engineering perspective. Throughout human history, engineering has driven the advance of civilization. This can be seen from the metallurgists who ended the Stone Age to the shipbuilders who united the world’s people through travels and trades; the past witnessed many marvels of engineering prowess. As civilization grew, it became pertinent that the world became confronted with the challenge of survival and relevance and hence, the desire not to be cut out from the basic necessities of life and existence gave rise to devices by humanity to remain relevance and hence, the field of engineering owes it a responsibility to the world to see that this issue is sorted out as usual as it has always provided respite to the world.
