Toward Architecting the Future of System Security
Keith D. Willett · INCOSE International Symposium · 2020
Abstract Cybersecurity is not just a technical decision regarding cost, benefit, and performance. Cybersecurity interweaves with civil liberties (opting out of the digital world), privacy (the right to be unobserved and the right to be forgotten), automated resolution of moral dilemmas (autonomous vehicle choosing who to hit), financial security (wealth representation being bits on a hard drive), socio‐political deception (detecting fake news on which we base life decisions), and physical safety (loss of life and property from adverse cyber‐physical events). As we look to the future of system security and system security engineering, we have hard choices to make that effect the way we live. This paper examines many of those choices and establishes architectural premises toward architecting the future of system security.
