A system with an inherently more secure design 1) avoids security hazards, rather than controlling them, 2) provides a design structure enhancing the ability for active controls to succeed with assurance, and 3) is intrinsically easier to analyze for vulnerabilities and hazards.
Common practice with cybersecurity engineering is a tactical risk based approach of identifying vulnerability, prioritizing around likelihood and consequences, and mitigating through countermeasures. A principled, strategic engineering approach to produce an inherently more secure system not only aids in prioritizations, but also reduced the workload and mitigates concerns of “unknowns”.
This tutorial targets the experienced systems engineer who is a novice in Systems Security Engineering as a specialty discipline of systems engineering
