Security Management in the 21st Century
There is no consensus on what entails security but rather an amorphous description on the line that state of satisfying stability. Today, poverty, the wellbeing of persons and threats to the environment are considered negative impacts on security (Tziarras, 2012). Globalization gets partially attributed to as the reason there are increased threats to security in the 21st century. Globalization is not a new concept to humanity as it dates back many years. However, there are specific aspects of globalization that are security threats (Tziarras, 2012). Sound security management in the 21st century demands that one gets acquainted with such dangers as technology evolution, and spread of liberal trade and economy.
On each wake, there are technological threats towards security. The most rampant is the use of mobile communication gadgets to exercise terrorism. In 2016, the FBI and Apple had to face each other in court such Apple could help unlock an iPhone that was used by terrorists. Mobile phones have made communication more accessible but also increased the sphere of security watch guards (Keegan, 2016). Technology has enabled North Korea to engage in acts of mass murder weapons despite the directive of the United Nations Security Council to desist from such actions. There are several spheres in which evolution in technology continues to pose security problems.

Capitalism advocates for economic security rather than military security as has been the case in the past. In the 21st century economic power seems to have shifted from the west to the east, where China is the new leader (Gilpin & Gilpin, 2006). The rise of China may not appear as a security threat yet, but sure it is, as far as the might countries of the world are concerned. The rise of China is a destabilizing aspect for the USA, and that qualifies as a security threat (Pumphrey, 2002). Capitalism is never coming to an end anytime soon; some states in the world are a few decades old, and they have not even started reaping the fruits of capitalism.
Security management in the 21st century does not require field marshals, Ronald Reagan did mention disagreement as the reason states are armed and not armory as the cause of the dispute. Security managers need a heads up on everything new in technology and economics.
