There is no cutting-edge book titled Engineering Bridges That Don’t Fall Down (I checked), because it’s clear the point of a bridge is to not fall down. Engineers learn about how forces work on a bridge, how materials behave under compression and tension, and use all that knowledge to build a bridge that doesn’t fall down. But it’s inherently known that the goal of a bridge should be to not fall down. Is the goal of embedded systems to be secure? Or is it something that gets thought about after?
The complications of embedded systems arise once you realize the wide-ranging ...
