A Systems Approach to Safety and Cybersecurity

Explore a comprehensive systems approach to safety and cybersecurity in this 46-minute conference talk from SREcon19 Europe/Middle East/Africa. Delve into topics such as the general definition of safety, real-world case studies like the Boeing 787 lithium battery fires, and analytical decomposition methods. Examine safety as a control problem rather than a failure problem, and discover an integrated approach to safety and security. Learn about applications in ballistic missile defense systems and Navy escort vessels. Gain insights on improving standard risk matrices and understand the key elements of a systems approach to safety and security. Presented by Nancy Leveson from MIT, this talk offers valuable knowledge for professionals in the fields of site reliability engineering, cybersecurity, and systems safety.
