Open Letter to Corporate Management about Unmitigated High Risk

The International System Safety Society (ISSS) will be developing a program plan in support of mentoring, research and development. We continue to be involved in many projects, such as developing white papers, developing software safety guides, and applying system safety techniques and methods for automated tools. We are also looking into forensics engineering and system safety applications. Should you have an interest in participation please contact me. If you are currently working on one of our projects, I stand by for your inputs.

Best regards,

— Mike Allocco
