ABSTRACT

 In this research paper the authors propose how the agile software development framework Scrum can be enriched by considering the penetration tests and related security requirements during the software development lifecycle. Authors apply in this paper the knowledge and expertise from their previous work focused on development of the new information system penetration tests methodology PETA with focus on using COBIT 4.1 as the framework for management of these tests, and on previous work focused on tailoring the project management framework PRINCE2 with Scrum. The security managers may benefit from the iterative software development approach and penetration tests automation. The developers and users will better understand the importance of the penetration tests and they will learn how to effectively embed the tests into the agile development lifecycle.
