National security

National security refers to the protection and preservation of a nation's people, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and way of life from external and internal threats. It encompasses a wide range of protective measures, including military defense, intelligence gathering, cybersecurity, counterterrorism efforts, and disaster response strategies. A comprehensive national security strategy ensures the nation’s stability, economic prosperity, and the public's safety. Effective national security requires collaboration among various government agencies, international allies, and even private sector partners to identify and neutralize potential threats. At its core, national security aims to safeguard the foundational values and institutions upon which the country is built.
