Zone Security
Zone Security (or Security) determines how hard it is for Insurgents to take over zones. The higher the zone security, the harder it is for Insurgents. Zone Security differs from each individual zone, and the player can only know each zone's security 'rating' with intel and by clicking on the zone's screen. Zone Security can also block camp spawns.
