Why the quotes?

If you ever see quotation marks in a headline, it simply means they're attributing the word/phrase to a particular source. In this case, they're saying that the word "security" was used verbatim in the intranet document. Scare quotes are never used in journalism, so they're not implying anything by putting the word in quotation marks. They're simply saying that they're not paraphrasing.
