Security Interpretations and Elaborations on Systems Engineering Principles

Abstract

INCOSE's Systems Engineering Vision 2035 includes thirty-one mentions of security as part of the vision, including security to become as foundational a perspective to system design as performance and safety. INCOSE's Systems Engineering Principles technical product published a “first set of systems principles” (Watson, et al., 2022). This paper examines interpretations of these principles for security as captured in the vision and suggests modifications and possible additional principles to see security more integrated into the systems engineering process.
