Abstract :
The aim of this research is to enhance the knowledge about investments and treatment of IT Security issues and their financial impact on software projects taking into account the lifecycle of projects on one hand and to build up an infrastructure which allows to automatically retrieve IT Security related information and relate it with economic and success factors on the other hand. IT security relevant practical metrics whose measurement can be automatized to a high extend will be provided. A model will be designed and an infrastructure for automatic IT Security related data retrieval will be built with which economic consequences and effectivity of IT security activities can be measured based on selected development, product and environmental indicators.
