Security emblem as seen in Insurgency
The Security Forces, commonly shortened to just Security, are a faction in Insurgency and Insurgency: Sandstorm. They are a generalized grouping of the national militaries, militias, law enforcement, and intelligence agencies of the series' nondescript Middle Eastern setting, supported by military and intelligence personnel and advisors from a largely Western international coalition, as well as Western private military contractors. They are the opponents of the Insurgent Forces. They are the successors of the USMC from Insurgency: Modern Infantry Combat.
Security is loosely based on various government forces and coalitions that took part in conflicts in the Middle East during the early 21st century, including the International Security Assistance Force of the War in Afghanistan, the Multi-National Force – Iraq of the Iraq War, the Combined Joint Task Force of Operation Inherent Resolve, the post-invasion Iraqi Armed Forces and Iraqi Police, the former Afghan Armed Forces, the Syrian Armed Forces, the Peshmerga, the Syrian Democratic Forces, and United States Special Operations Command, as well as various other military and law enforcement units based on the player's customization preferences.

Trivia[]
- Security's emblem resembles that of the British Army's Special Air Service.
- The cut campaign of Insurgency: Sandstorm would have established Security as the Multi-National Force – Iraq, the Iraqi Armed Forces, the Peshmerga, and private militaries, based on its Iraq War setting. However, as the campaign was ultimately never released and the game went for a more non-specific setting, it can be presumed this is non-canon and no longer applies.
- During the Insurgency: Early-Access, the Security faction was represented by Private Military Contractors, Iraqi Security Forces, and United States Marines. Their old emblem was also that of the United States Marine Corps.
