Säkerhetseffektiv

Säkerhetseffektiv is a Swedish term that translates to "security effective" in English. It is often used in the context of security systems, technologies, and practices to describe their ability to achieve their intended security goals in a practical and resource-conscious manner. The concept emphasizes not just the technical robustness of a security measure but also its ability to be implemented, managed, and maintained without imposing an undue burden.

A security-effective solution balances the level of protection offered against the cost, complexity, and potential impact on usability or performance. It means that the security provided is sufficient for the threat landscape and the value of the assets being protected, without being unnecessarily over-engineered or prohibitively expensive. This involves considering factors such as the likelihood of threats, the potential damage they could cause, and the resources available for security implementation.

The goal of being security-effective is to achieve a desirable state of security resilience and risk mitigation in a sustainable way. It encourages a pragmatic approach to security, focusing on what truly matters and delivers the most value in terms of risk reduction. This can involve making informed trade-offs and prioritizing security investments where they will have the greatest impact.
