Formulating a Security Policy › Primary Elements of a Security Policy › Applications Software Areas

Applications Software Areas

The applications areas must interface properly with the security areas to ensure that application resources are properly protected. Each application area is the best source of information concerning how best to protect an application, since each application differs to some extent. Consider the following responsibilities:

• To define the security requirements for the application, and to work with the security administration area in implementing security for the application.
• To notify the appropriate Security Administrator of all revisions to the application that affects the security design.
