Explanation
Building in appropriate levels of fault tolerance is a secure design principle for a new product. Fault tolerance is the ability of a system or a component to continue functioning correctly and reliably in the event of a failure, error, or disruption, such as a hardware malfunction, a power outage, or a network attack. Building in appropriate levels of fault tolerance can enhance the security, availability, and resilience of a system or a product, by providing mechanisms such as redundancy, backup, recovery, failover, or self-healing. Building in appropriate levels of fault tolerance can also prevent or mitigate the impact of potential threats or vulnerabilities, and ensure the continuity of the business operations and services.
