Not 100%, but consider automatic garbage collection.  Tends to make a system
more secure, because it's associated with languages that avoid pointers with
all their evilness.  Tends to make a system less safe, because if the
garbage collection occurs at the wrong time (e.g., when you're spitting out
radiation for a medical instrument), it could cause the system to
temporarily freeze.
