Abstract

This paper discusses the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) state-of-practice of integrating security into systems engineering (SE) in order to implement system security engineering (SSE) through the program protection process. The discussion includes a description of new policies and the application of methods and techniques to implement SSE. Although SSE is normally viewed as a specialty engineering area, this paper emphasizes the need to more tightly integrate SSE with the overall systems engineering.
