Security requirements engineering

Security requirements engineering is the process of identifying and defining the security needs of a system from the start of its development. It involves understanding what needs protection (like data or user privacy), what threats exist, and how to prevent or mitigate attacks. This ensures the final system is designed with security in mind, reducing vulnerabilities and safeguarding users and information. Essentially, it’s a careful planning step that helps build more secure, trustworthy systems by thinking about security early and thoroughly.
