Abstract

Security has become a crucial aspect for the performance of present organizations since the protected object is the mission of them. Therefore, the management approach oriented to business processes has been a good answer for the current scenarios, changing and complex, where organizations develop their task. Both subjects form a basic requirement to reach not only the mission but also the organizational objectives in a strongly connected global economy. In this work, we will show a microprocess through which it is possible to specify and refine security requirements at a high level of abstraction, in a way that they can be incorporated into the development of a software system. In addition, an extension of UML 2.0 activity diagrams will be presented through which it is possible to identify such requirements.
