Economic Security
The Homeland Security Enterprise topic is economic security, which focuses on the flow
of goods, people, and services in America. Economic prosperity is achieved by ensuring that
goods, people, technology, information, and services increasingly flow in and out of the borders.
In most cases, criminal activities and terrorism usually exploit the flow of economic factors
across the borders. Therefore, the enterprise needs to control the supply chain to detect criminal
and terrorist activities. The homeland security enterprise also focuses on economic security by
disrupting terrorist funding, protecting intellectual property rights, and improving trade
transparency to reduce fraud and counterfeit cases.
Economic prosperity safeguards the interest of Americans and also their safety. From the
activities mentioned above, when they are not minimized, they may allow vulnerabilities that can
be exploited by terrorists exposing the public to insecurity (Givens, Nathan & Alan, p. 3). More
importantly, it follows the flow of economic factors across borders and stops any harm to the
citizens at an early stage. The enterprise focuses on improving trade transparency, which equally
improves internal security by reducing illicit activities like money-laundering.
Engaging in economic security fosters fair competition for businesses and individuals (Givens,
Nathan & Alan, p.11). Through intellectual property rights, they reduce economic uncertainties
to companies and individuals. Intellectual property theft is a threat in that it robs businesses their
economic progress, and others enjoy it. In such a case, American companies and individuals may
lose their jobs, reduce profit-making activities, and inability to trade effectively outside their
borders. Equally, counterfeit products can cause harm to the public's health and consumer.
Therefore the Homeland Security Enterprise needs to engage in economic security to improve
the global supply chain of firms' products across and out of the country.
