>>Safety is a characteristic of systems and not of their components >>Safety is an emergent property of systems; it does not reside in a person, device or department of an organization or system. Safety cannot be purchased or manufactured; it is not a feature that is separate from the other components of the system. This means that safety cannot be manipulated like a feedstock or raw material. The state of safety in any system is always dynamic; continuous systemic change insures that hazard and its management are constantly changing.

fits perfectly the description of Security of complex IT systems, nice way to explain why IT security marketplace is a wild wild west
