Safety Case

A safety case is a structured argument that demonstrates how a system is safe to operate, particularly in the context of cybersecurity. It encompasses a comprehensive assessment of risks, the effectiveness of implemented controls, and evidence supporting the system's resilience against potential threats. By systematically documenting safety measures and their rationale, a safety case helps stakeholders understand and manage the security posture of a system.
