Why are security incidents so important?

Security incidents are crucial to handling your security because they provide vital information about the impact your work is having, and about possible action which may be planned or carried out against you. Likewise, such incidents allow you to change your behaviour or activities and avoid places which could be dangerous, or more dangerous than normal. Security incidents can therefore be seen as indicators of the local security situation. If you couldn’t detect such changes it would be difficult to take appropriate and timely action to stay safe.

For instance, you may realize that you are under surveillance after noticing several security incidents: Now you can take action about surveillance.

Security incidents represent “the minimum unit” of

security measurement and indicates the

resistance/pressure on your work.

Do not let them go unnoticed!
