Inspection of Security and Security Management from a Company Point of View

Abstract

What is security, what does it mean when we talk about it and formulate it? What do we mean by corporate security management in Hungary today, and what level of development can we position today in relation to the current leading scientific and professional guidelines of international security management?

In the Hungarian security literature we can find several, multi-layered and differently interpreted definitions, the summary of which is not the aim of the article, but rather to establish the direction that is closest to corporate security management.

Experts on the setup of security system, either in the case of a single object or in the design of a system, depict security system as a pyramid. This pyramid is usually divided into three parts, mechanical, electronic, and human guarding forces.

In contrast, I suggest a more comprehensive, complex approach, which is in my opinion covers the security system more completely. I highlight the essential leading role of security management. Security management is the leading component of a security system that designs, creates, operates, and continually improves a complete security or defense system, without which we cannot talk about adequate, effective protection.
