Security Compliance in Model-driven Development of Software Systems in Presence of Long-Term Evolution and Variants
For ensuring a software system's security, it is vital to keep up with changing security precautions, attacks, and mitigations. Although model-based development enables addressing security already at design-time, design models are often inconsistent with the implementation or among themselves. An additional burden are variants of software systems. To ensure security in this context, we present an approach based on continuous automated change propagation, allowing security experts to specify security requirements on the most suitable system representation. We automatically check all system representations against these requirements and provide security-preserving refactorings for preserving security compliance. For both, we show the application to variant-rich software systems. To support legacy systems, we allow to reverse-engineer variability-aware UML models and semi-automatically map existing design models to the implementation. Besides evaluations of the individual contributions, we demonstrate the approach in two open-source case studies, the iTrust electronics health records system and the Eclipse Secure Storage.Since 2016, Sven Matthias Peldszus has been working as a research associate at the University of Koblenz-Landau and joined the Ruhr University Bochum after defending this thesis. His research interests include continuous tracing of non-functional requirements over the entire software life cycle and software quality analysis in variant-rich software systems.Introduction.- Running Example: iTrust.- State of the Art in Secure Software Systems Development.- A Walkthrough of the Proposed Development Approach.- Program Model for Object-oriented Languages.- Model-Synchronization and Tracing.- Application to Legacy Projects using Reverse-Engineering.- Static Security Compliance Checks.- Verification and Enforcement of Security at Run-time.- Specification of Variability throughout Variant-rich Software Systems.- Security in UML Product Lines.- Security Compliance and Restructuring in Variant-rich Software Systems.- The GRaViTY Framework.- Case Studies.- Related Work.- Conclusion.

Theoretical Cybersecurity
There is a distinct lack of theoretical innovation in the cybersecurity industry. This is not to say that innovation is lacking, as new technologies, services, and solutions (as well as buzzwords) are emerging every day. This book will be the first cybersecurity text aimed at encouraging abstract and intellectual exploration of cybersecurity from the philosophical and speculative perspective. Technological innovation is certainly necessary, as it furthers the purveying of goods and services for cybersecurity producers in addition to securing the attack surface of cybersecurity consumers where able.The issue is that the industry, sector, and even academia are largely technologically focused. There is not enough work done to further the trade—the craft of cybersecurity. This book frames the cause of this and other issues, and what can be done about them. Potential methods and directions are outlined regarding how the industry can evolve to embrace theoretical cybersecurity innovation as it pertains to the art, as much as to the science.To do this, a taxonomy of the cybersecurity body of work is laid out to identify how the influences of the industry’s past and present constrain future innovation. Then, cost-benefit analysis and right-sizing of cybersecurity roles and responsibilities—as well as defensible experimentation concepts—are presented as the foundation for moving beyond some of those constraining factors that limit theoretical cybersecurity innovation. Lastly, examples and case studies demonstrate future-oriented topics for cybersecurity theorization such as game theory, infinite-minded methodologies, and strategic cybersecurity implementations.WHAT YOU’LL LEARN* The current state of the cybersecurity sector and how it constrains theoretical innovationHow to understand attacker and defender cost benefit * The detect, prevent, and accept paradigm* How to build your own cybersecurity box* Supporting cybersecurity innovation through defensible experimentation* How to implement strategic cybersecurity* Infinite vs finite game play in cybersecurityWHO THIS BOOK IS FORThis book is for both practitioners of cybersecurity and those who are required to, or choose to, employ such services, technology, or capabilities.DR.

Unlocking Agile's Missed Potential
UNLOCKING AGILE'S MISSED POTENTIALAgile has not delivered on its promises. The business side expected faster time to market, but they still experience the long delays of bloated releases. Engineers thought they would be given time to build the product right the first time, but they are rushed under pressure to deliver new features within impossible schedules. What went wrong?The culprit is feature-based waterfall release planning perpetuated in a vain attempt to achieve business predictability. Agile didn't address the business need for multi-year financial predictability. The Agile community's answer was the naïve response, "The business needs to be more Agile." Waterfall release planning with fixed schedules undercuts a basic tenet of Agile development – the need to adjust content delivered within a timebox to account for evolving requirements and incorporation of feedback. Agile without flexible content is not Agile.This book introduces a novel solution that enables product teams to deliver higher value within shorter cycle times while meeting the predictability needs of the business. Organizations today want product teams that break down walls between product management and engineering to achieve schedule and financial objectives. Until now they haven’t had a way to implement product teams within the rigid constraints of traditional organizational structures.The Investment planning approach described in this book supports small development increments planned and developed by product teams aligned by common schedule and financial goals. It uses Cost of Delay principles to prioritize work with the highest value and shortest cycle times. Investments provide a vehicle for collaboration and innovation and fulfill the promise of highly motivated self-directed Agile development teams.This book is for engineers, product managers and project managers who want to finally do Agile the way it was envisioned. This book is also for leaders who want to build high-performance teams around the inherent motivational environment of Agile when done right.FOREWORD BY STEVE MCCONNELL, AUTHOR OF MORE EFFECTIVE AGILE: A ROADMAP FOR SOFTWARE LEADERS (CONSTRUX PRESS, 2019).ROBERT WEBBER'S executive experience as VPs of engineering and product management and as a CEO, combined with years of consulting with Fortune 500 companies, provide the broad perspective to create a win-win solution for business and product development that finally achieves the promises of Agile development. Organizations can increase R&D ROI by over 25% using existing Agile development capabilities.
