title: Safety and security of information systems.
abstract: This paper discusses some of the similarities and differences between the attributes of safety and security. It places these attributes within the broader topic of dependability and tries to identify what aspects of safety and security are unique and which aspects may be viewed within the attributes of reliability and availability. The paper then suggests that, rather than analyse systems from the single perspective of safety or security, they should be analysed from the broader perspective of dependability.
