Safety vs security --- Eduardo, interesting division. It makes sense - cybersecurity commonly refers to attacks and incidents behind which is a human (usually with an intention). Purely technical problems (say, the recent Facebook down issue) are typically not understood as a cybersecurity issue.

Interestingly, in cyber, security often refers to collective/system security, while safety relates to individual safety - such as from online bullying.

Does anyone have different understanding of security and safety in the online world?
