“…Qualitative methods combined with expert opinions are often preferred for describing and assessing security risks (Aven and Renn 2009;Piè-Cambacédès and Bouissou 2013). The widespread use of qualitative approaches within the security field is also related to the low frequency of most security events, which means there is a lack of relevant historical data on which to build risk assessments.…”

“…In both fields, the concept of risk is now used extensively in assessing and managing threats. Although there are debates as to whether security risk management should adopt a different methodology than in safety risk management (Jore and Egeli 2015), risk analysis methodology in both fields is often based on similar phases involving analyzing threats, vulnerabilities, potential consequences, the likelihood of occurrence, and ranking risks (Piè-Cambacédès and Bouissou 2013;Young and Leveson 2014).…”

“…Several recent articles address risk analysis from a crossfertilization perspective, looking at similarities, differences, and interdependencies between the risk concept and the risk analysis methodology employed in security and safety risk management. This means that despite the differences between security and safety, some authors claim that the perspectives developed in each field can be applicable to the other (Amundrud et al 2017;Kriaa et al 2015;Piè-Cambacédès and Bouissou 2013).…”

“…Several authors have recognized similarities between security and safety research (Brewer 1993;Courtois and Leveson 1996). Others have explored the proposition that security and safety are a duality, and that much could be gained by one domain adopting the knowledge, theories, and methodologies of the other (Aven 2007;Brewer 1993;Kriaa et al 2015;Piè-Cambacédès and Bouissou 2013). Other scholars have argued that security has specific characteristics that need to be further explored.…”

The Conceptual and Scientific Demarcation of Security in Contrast to Safety

Increased focus on protection from terrorism, espionage, cybersecurity and other malicious crimes has led to increased academic interest in the topic of security, especially in risk and safety studies. This article aims to investigate the conceptual and scientific demarcation of security in contrast to safety, and discuss the status of security as an independent science. Security is a multifaceted concept and academic definitions often distinguish security from safety in terms of intentionality. However, intentionality also plays a part in safety research thus this is not a sufficient parameter for distinguishing the two fields. The dichotomy of nonmalicious versus malicious is suggested as a means for differentiation. A new definition of security that incorporates elements associated with the current security research field is proposed. Security can be defined as the perceived or actual ability to prepare for, adapt to, withstand, and recover from dangers and crises caused by people's deliberate, intentional, and malicious acts such as terrorism, sabotage, organized crime, or hacking. The conclusion is that before security can be established as an independent discipline, it is necessary to determine what concepts and theories are related to the field, what levels of and objects in society should be included, in addition to the interrelationships and interdependencies with other disciplines.

“…The academic community has been publishing an impressive amount of papers on the subject of safety and security co-engineering since the early 90's [5], organising their conferences and workshops, discussing commonalities and differences, and showing that there is a significant overlap between both specialties [6]. States are financing large research and development projects on the topic, both in Europe [7][8][9], and across the Atlantic [10].…”

On the meaning of security for safety (S4S)

Safety engineering traditionally leaves out malevolent behaviour. Recent attacks in safety-critical domains, e.g. 9/11, Stuxnet, have definitely changed the game. The academic safety engineering community is addressing the issue through a significant amount of publications and workshops. The industrial safety standardisation communities are addressing the issue by revisiting safety standards or elaborating new cybersecurity standards to seamlessly cope with IT security threats that can have an impact, direct or indirect, on safety. Regulation is also increasing. However, because the security for safety approach is not a simple juxtaposition of safety and cybersecurity processes and techniques, and despite all this hustle and bustle by academic and industrial communities, it is still very difficult to precisely define what is meant by security for safety. In this paper we analyse this would-be seamless integration of security engineering activities into the safety engineering world, and we discuss the areas in which a lot of fuzziness still remains.

This article presents a systematic mapping study on the model-driven engineering of safety and security concerns in software systems. Combined modeling and development of both safety and security concerns is an emerging field of research as both concerns affect one another in unique ways. Our mapping study provides an overview of the current state of the art in this field. This study carefully selected 143 publications out of 27,259 relevant papers through a rigorous and systematic process. This study then proposes and answers questions such as frequently used methods and tools and development stages where these concerns are typically investigated in application domains. Additionally, we identify the community's preference for publication venues and trends. The discussion on obtained results also features the gained insights and future research directions.
