Overview

As technology helps us more and more, we need to be able to trust it to operate safely and securely, whether in a medical device, a vacuum cleaner, an industrial robot, or a car. Functional safety (FuSa) is a specialized engineering discipline that focuses on keeping system failures from causing unsafe behaviors through active detection and either correction or mitigation.
