English Abstract

Software security is considered as a time consuming and after-thought activity, this could be because of its complexity or the lack of enough knowledge.

Today`s software development companies are focusing on high-speed software delivery, however, many companies are still using the traditional methodologies.

In this work, traditional Waterfall and Agile approaches characteristics have been described.

Also, some of the most well-known security engineering processes have been identified to have a deep analysis about the available security activities.

This study proposes a new secure methodology, which aims to give security its needed attention by the development team, the proposed methodology mixed Waterfall and Scrum to produce a hybrid software development approach that will apply the rules of both of them.

The methodology will integrate security activities according to well-known security processes and best-practices.

A survey has been conducted with IT professionals to explore and analyze the current situation of the software development companies, detailed interviews were conducted with professionals and their feedback will be used as an evaluation for this study.

The achieved results show that security is not considered during software development, and the new proposed hybrid methodology could be a good start to build secure software’s.
