The scale of misuse of mission-critical assets manipulated by computer-based systems has increased, because of their worldwide accessibility through the Internet and the automation of systems. Security is concerned with the prevention of such misuse. The systematic development of software that considers security risks and threats explicitly is increasingly recognized as critical to improving overall systems security. This special issue provides a forum for discussing research directions in software engineering for developing secure systems more effectively. It comprises seven papers that underwent one or more cycles of anonymous peer review and revision.
