Security is, in fact, the shared responsibility of each and every one of us, not only of the Security Manager or the Security Officer at the boom or building entrance. In the workplace especially, it is very important that all employees; whether it’s the cleaning lady, the receptionist or the MD or CEO himself / herself; realise this and adapt their attitude and view in regards to security accordingly. This is when Security Awareness needs to be addressed and come into play as this will allow for the company’s security status to become all the more stronger as it is more likely that a criminal will be apprehended and stopped before the crime even occurs.
