National Security

National security refers to the protection and defense of a nation’s citizens, territory, and interests against threats and vulnerabilities. It encompasses a wide range of concerns, including military defense, intelligence operations, diplomacy, economic stability, and cybersecurity. The aim of national security is to ensure the survival and well-being of the state and its people by preventing or responding to various forms of threats, such as terrorism, espionage, armed conflict, and political instability. National security strategies often involve the collaboration of various government agencies, as well as partnerships with international allies to address challenges that extend beyond a nation’s borders. The concept also includes legal and ethical considerations surrounding civil liberties and the balance between security measures and individual rights.
