Question

What are the benefits of using STSAFE security IC to reset a microcontroller?

I am using BL072Z board and the datasheet says:

8.6 Reset sources

The reset signal of the B-L072Z-LRWAN1 Discovery kit is active low and the reset sources is one of the following:

• Reset button B2

• Arduino Uno V3 shield board from CN4

• LoRa®/Sigfox™ module internal reset coming either from STSAFE security IC or

STM32L072CZ (selectable by jumper JP10)

• Embedded ST-LINK/V2-1

But I don't what are the cons if I reset the microcontroller using one of its GPIOs
