Security Centre
These Security Facilities help against hostile Covert Operations, raising your normal alert level. This is achieved through having 30% of your buildings as Security Centres.
Total immunity from covert operations is possible with 30% of your constructions as Security Centres at the same time as setting your Engineering top priority to Security.

Alertness works a little bit different.
All races have a minimum alertness of 60.
Security centers will raise the planets minimum alertness by the percentage of Security centers * 3, with the bonus being capped at 35%. This means in order to be immune from covert-ops you need the full 35% bonus and security as priority 2 for engineering. As this gives (60*1.35)+20=101 - this is having 11% of your constructions as security centres.
With the secuirty as top priority only 5% of constructions need to be security centres to be immune
The minimum alertness is the number your alertness will DECREASE TOWARDS every tick if it is higher.
So how can I be immune with an alertness of 96 ???
You can with help from your Engineers security setting:
When a covert operation is attempted, the following formula decides whether it was a success or a failure:
random(25) + stealth - target_alertness - engineering_alert_bonus must be higher than 1 for the operation to succeed.
Engineering alert bonus is 30,20,10 or 0 depending on your security priority (first, second, third, none).
Since max stealth is 95, and random(25) can be max 25, we are looking at max 120 on the first half of the formula.
Max alertness is 96, and with first priority on security, we add 30, and see that we end up with 126.
So, with 30 % security centers, AND first priority on Security with the engineers, you are immune.

These Security Facilities help against hostile Covert Operations, raising your alertness. If you manage to have 30% Security Centres (Max Bonus), you will be close to immunity. If you want FULL immunity, you need 30% + engineering priority on security.
This is no quote (I made this up):
<K@l> u will now need 1st prioity and 17.5% sec centres for immunity - having more than 17.5% will have no affect
<K@l> thats after the fix
