ICSE 2025
Sat 26 April - Sun 4 May 2025 Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Agile software development methodologies are well suited to address business needs and be adaptable. However, security considerations are also essential, creating a need to integrate security practices to address critical risks and vulnerabilities. This research proposes a systematic approach to integrate security practices within agile software development environments, ensuring security requirements align with business needs. The study will develop a BizDevOps-aligned framework for integrating security practices in agile environments, including metrics to assess the effectiveness of these practices. A management model will also be created to manage the security practices and support continuous improvement based on observed outcomes.
