Abstract

A holistic and dynamic approach is necessary to understand complex systems behaviour, where a single structural approch is too reductionist. Because Information systems present multiple interactions between hardware, software, and users, risk is inside systems, in the form of faults, and outside systems, when exposed to agents, directly or interconnected with networks. Thus, very few systems are completely free of risk; most of them are close to the limit, regarding certain risks.
