Safe and secure

[ROBINDESBOIS]

Difference btw safe ans secure?
Secure or safe world?

[poli]

As adjectives, they have the same meaning for the most part, but under
certain circumstances secure is better. For instance, something that is nailed down is secure not necessarily safe.

Safe can be a noun and sucure cannot.

I would say that "unsafe" has a strong connotation of "dangerous", whereas "insecure" can just mean "doesn't correctly enforce a policy". But I'm not sure whether that's a distinction which would be recognised by the Anglophone world in general - my perspective is affected by having studied aspects of security in university.

[poli]

Insecure and not secure have very different meanings. Not secure is close in meaning to unsafe.

Disagree. Although insecure and unsecured do have very different meanings.
