CACM Inside Risks: http://www.csl.sri.com/neumann/insiderisks.html Mini-editorial (PGN) This is now my 45th year with involvement in SEN. When can I quit? Sadly, the risks continue to be pervasive, and avoiding them is highly relevant to what principled software/system engineering should entail. We need ap- proaches to systems that consider trustworthiness as a col- lection of -ilities all of which can be critical, and which in many cases are intricately related; they cannot be solved in isolation. Trustworthiness requires reliablity, security, and much more especially when human safety is in- volved. And every system is likely to have critical aws that can be exploited or triggered accidentally. My Octo- ber 2020 CACM Inside Risks column, A Holistic View of Fu- ture Risks (http://www.csl.sri.com/neumann/cacm250.pdf) attempts to illustrate some of that. If you have not seen it, I would welcome some feedback. |
