When Safety Meets Security: October Reading Advice

Drawing on the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, researchers at the University of Stavanger examine two areas that have long coexisted without truly being considered together: the management of accidental risks and the management of intentional threats.

The article highlights the differences between safety approaches, which are based on trust, transparency, and collective learning, and security approaches, which place greater emphasis on confidentiality, control, and threat anticipation.
