A Systemic Theory of the Security Environment

This article develops a systemic theory of security environment and explores the theory's implication for managing security. The central theme here is to argue that becuase security environment is a system, a systemic approach, not the conventional approach by identifying threats, is the way to go for understanding security environment and making strategy. The article first identifies the factors shaping security environment and elaborates on how the factors interact to shape the security environment. After offering several tests for the theory, the article concludes by laying out the theory's implication for understanding security and managing security.
