Abstract: Every word we hear reminds us of its opposite.1 For example, the word safety finds meaning from an abstract context of danger. The safe way of doing something is a reminder of the dangers of the task. For industrial control systems (ICS) professionals, the concept of danger isnt abstract because the word safety is actionable. Safety is embedded into every process of industrial companies. As the CEO of Exxon, Darren Woods, put it, safety is ultimately found in a companys culture-the unwritten standards and norms that shape mindsets, attitudes, and behaviors.2 Safety, like culture, is a cumulative experience of proactive policies often created in reaction to past events. For example, a fire in a packed theater killed 575 people because the exit doors opened inward, preventing customers from opening the doors when crowds rushed at them. After the fire, safety standards were adopted stating that all exits must open outward from the inside.3 In much the same way, ICS created processes and procedures to avoid dangerous outcomes.
