Abstract
Security is unpredictable, encompassing multidimensional heterogeneous occupations, skills, and knowledge (Brooks, 2010). The security domain encompasses many parts across its broad spectrum of practice, such as national security, public security, and private security to name only a few. Such diversity makes it difficult to provide a single encompassing definition for these many parts, as definition is dependent on applied context. One such context is corporate security.
