What is the Risk Engineering for Complex Technical Systems course about?

As systems grow more interconnected, traditional risk models fail. Outages, security gaps, and integration debt accumulate quietly until one trigger cascades into crisis. You're expected to prevent it all, but legacy frameworks don't map to modern architectures or real-world operator constraints.
