I have the same impression too. The problem here is the definition of
"Critical" systems. It does not always mean "Safety Critical" but when
you read the flyer it is the only translation that comes in mind...
I really think that we should focus on Information Systems too. The
compagny Information Systems is "Critical" and this is I think a large
buissness, larger than "Safty Critical" oriented compagnies.
Just my thought...
Pascal.
