The Security Mirage is a well in-depth video where it takes it to the next level in the explanation in the difference of feeling secure and being secure. Bruce Scheier refers to security as both a feeling and a reality and which they're not the same. Security in which we may see the difference between risk and the perception of risk, Whether problems are seen as problems at all, whether non-problems are believed to be problems, and whether they are seen as social.

But both fields go a long way to explain the divergence between the feeling and the reality of security and, more importantly, where that divergence comes
