Adopting Knowledge Based Security System for Software Development Life Cycle

The high-demand from the software industry led to the development of many Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) models that help produce high quality software within budget and time constraints. Most of these SDLC models do not completely cover security as early as possible in the development cycle. Since security is a major concern to the users and the developers, adopting it at the early stages of the SDLC could help to ensure integrity, accessibility and confidentiality in future systems. It is still unclear how to achieve a perfectly secured software system by modifying the SDLC models. In this paper, the Knowledge Based Security System (KBSS) model is proposed to help in modeling and specifying security at all stages of SDLC in an effort to achieve a maximally secured software system. KBSS is a system that categorizes, clusters, monitors, alerts, and controls the Security Knowledge Management by the knowledge of the Security Expert Team, who are able to identify, collect, organize, manage, retrieve, provide and store all aspects of security functions and issues.
