Safari is damaged message following Ventura installation

Following installation of Ventura 13.0 (I have a MacBook Pro 2019 with 2.8 GHz Quad-core intel processor) I'm getting an intermittent message box stating: "Safari is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the trash". Does anyone know what it the cause of this pop-up box. I am able to open safari and am posting this question through the Safari browser. Do I need to worry that Safari will eventually fail. Any feedback would be appreciated.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.0
