Language is weird but I think they are separate concepts in most languages. Other languages just don't use safe as secularly. Safe inflects from "save", and other languages use phrases like salve, salvar, спаси, to mean saving, usually of the soul but also of health. Security, inflection of secure, derives from Old English sicor (siker), means more like "sure", or being certain. So when they talk about public safety or computer security, other langs tend to use the "secure" word rather than the "save" word. Of course in the modern world, we just use the terminology the industry uses, and security has taken on its current meaning of protection. Interestingly enough, there is a product/service called Secure Your Soul in Cyberpunk 2077, which plays on this same overlap in meaning.
