Security implies the relative guarantee of protection of citizens, and their data, the data

being in the hands of third parties. A part of security however, for the users, requires that
information they deem private be not divulged to anyone, at the same time security
requires monitoring of events and activities in order to predetermine how to improve
security, as well as how to track sources of potential criminal activity. In light of the need
to maintain security, the security enforcer needs to be provided with some minimum
information, e.g. there will be no need for a bank to worry about privacy and security of
client data if the clients were anonymous. Banks’ security and privacy policices are
meant to protect client data that they hold. An example of a bank that does this is JP
Morgan, http://www.jpmorgan.com/pages/privacy.

Where there is absolute privacy, security is not a necessity. Lack of security lack of
privacy. The use of such trans-national tools like the internet requires that the security of
a whole group of people be more important than the privacy of any one single person.
“Security … constitutes those reasonable and prudent policies, processes, steps and tools that are
used to maintain confidentiality and privacy. It involves all methods, processes, and technology
used to ensure the confidentiality and safety of the once private information that has been
entrusted to a third party by the customer.” What Is The Difference Between Security and
Privacy? Rebecca HHeroldhttp://www.informationshield.com/papers/Privacy%20and
%20Security%20-%20Herold.pdf

When we claim the need for privacy, we need to be aware of what we are keeping private
and the implications on security. By maintaining privacy who are we securing and who
are we putting at risk. As in the discussion “…banks are truly held responsible for
verifying the identity of anyone opening a bank account, then this problem will be
reduced to acceptable levels (will never be eliminated). Will there be a "cost" to this?
Absolutely. Banks will need to spend more to verify their customer's identity. Customers
may have a waiting period when opening a bank account, and in-person verification may
be a requirement”. Schneier on Security,:
http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/06/the_hidden_cost.html. The process of
identification and verification require some shedding of the privacy. In this case it is
absolutely necessary in order to maintain integrity and security. Even if this information
is available through a third party, there still is some necessary shedding of privacy.

Security can be intrusive on privacy; irregardless of whether it is internet security or

general security e.g. a police officer receiving a search warrant is one example of the
intrusive nature of security on other rights. It is necessary that policies and regulations
exist in the constitution to allow such activities, necessary for security and with due
reason to be carried out. One should note that “you must implement security to ensure
privacy. You must use security to obtain privacy. Security is a process…privacy is a
consequence. Security is action…privacy is a result of successful action. Security is a condition…
privacy is the prognosis. Security is the strategy…privacy is the outcome. Privacy is a state of
existence…security is the constitution supporting the existence. Security is a tactical
strategy…privacy is a contextual strategic objective. Security is the sealed envelope…privacy is
the successful delivery of the message inside the envelope.” What Is The Difference Between
Security and Privacy?By Rebecca Herold. It is also necessary that users become aware of
how to take responsibility for that information they would rather not give obligingly
using available security and privacy tools e.g. stealthier, close-n-forget etc,

Those tasked with security should follow due process and procedure in securing the
information they hold.. Trust between the user and the security authority in order to
ensure user’s right to privacy should be established and maintained. The user need not
make the security of their private information wholly a responsibility, but to ensure that
there is accountability for any breach, in the form data protection directives and
regulations, with clearly stated means of ensuring recompense. An example is the wat
google stores and distributes collected data, which ensures that people still maintain some
privacy as well as security, Google Help
