UC-VULN-08 — Engineer systems to fail predictably and safely
Determine mean time to failure for components whose failure could compromise security or availability, and replace or refresh them within predicted tolerances before failure occurs. Define and implement fail-safe procedures so that on detected failure conditions systems enter a known safe state — preserving security protections, alerting designated personnel, and preventing unsafe continuation of operations.

- On exploit-induced failure, failing to a known safe state preserves security protections and blocks unsafe continuation, limiting impact.
