Implications of the Operational Environmental on Software Security Requirements Engineering

Christian Schmitt, Peter Liggesmeyer · 2014

After presenting an overview about the most commonly referred reasons and issues for bad practice in software security requirements engineering, this paper introduces a security interdependency model, illustrating the implications between software and its physical, technical and organizational environment. The model is described in detail and the mutual implication and interdependencies between software security (requirements) and the operational environment are explained, enhanced with illustrative examples. Conclusions and further research perspectives with respect to security requirements engineering, and security in general are drawn.
