About

Information Safety is my personal blog focusing on adapting safety science to technology and cybersecurity. You can find my older work at transvasive.com. I started Security Differently to help organizations implement security using these principles.

What is Information Safety?

Information Safety is a reliability (or resilience) practice that uses methods originally developed for safety. Safety methods are being successfully applied to build and operate resilient software systems - systems that fail less often and recover from failure faster.

Presentation

“Organizing Risk Management Programs, or, What I Learned from the Secret Service and the Aviation Industry” (video) - a talk given by @jabenninghoff at SIRAcon 2012 comparing protection and safety approaches to risk management that introduced the idea of “information safety.”

Security Differently

Security Differently adapts concepts from Safety Differently and Safety-II to Cybersecurity.
