In the recent decades, nations has been exploring international, bilateral, political, and economic relationships and becoming much more interdependent for ensuring national security. With immediate threats like interstate conflicts, illegal immigration, proliferation of weapons for mass destruction, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is ardently working toward maintaining safety and security at government buildings, and civilian zones to strengthen warfare capabilities.
Today, the homeland security technologies are as diverse as the security threats.
