"History shows that most improvements in #security come in response to terrible events, not as a way of preventing them. Good security is intelligent and proportionate to the #risks. It is a practical discipline concerned with safeguarding lives, property, information, wealth, reputations, and societal wellbeing. But what constitutes good security and how is it achieved? Deciding what is needed, and then making it happen, is not easy. The threats to our security are complex and rapidly evolving, as criminals, hackers, terrorists, malicious insiders, and hostile foreign states continually find new ways of staying one step ahead of us—their potential victims. At the same time, we are continually creating new vulnerabilities as we adopt new technologies and new ways of working. Furthermore, the practical application of security is often distorted by vested interests and conflicting agendas.
"Those who do not understand the fundamentals of #security open themselves and those around them to avoidable dangers, needless anxieties, and unnecessary costs. Inadequate #security may leave them exposed to intolerable #risks, while the wrong kind of #security is expensive, intrusive, and ineffective. "
Martin, P. (2019). The rules of security: staying safe in a risky world. Oxford University Press.p.6

"#Riskmanagement in the modern world relies on two forms of thinking. #Risk as feelings refers to our instinctive and intuitive reactions to danger. #Risk as analysis brings logic, reason, quantification, and deliberation to bear on hazard management. Compared with analysis, reliance on feelings tends to be a quicker, easier, and more efficient way to navigate in a complex, uncertain, and dangerous world. Hence, it is essential to rational behavior. Yet it sometimes misleads us. In such circumstances we need to ensure that reason and analysis also are employed."
