 Modeling security concerns in service-oriented architectures
Because the UML used to express MDA lacks model elements for indicating the security needs of business processes, system architects are forced either to ignore security concerns in their models, or to indicate their intentions in ways that are implementation-specific.
Security implementations are complex; they can have serious impacts on performance, and they can place additional requirements on the IT infrastructure supporting the services.
These business architects were not versed in the technical details of the security concerns, but they were able to distinguish data that needed to be passed in a secure manner from data that could be sent without security measures.

Despite a continuing wave of mergers among security suppliers, IS professionals generally favor best-of-breed security solutions, for several reasons: (1) Customer-focused suppliers are delivering better customer service; (2) rapidly changing technology is demanding more adroit suppliers; and (3) suppliers are delivering more plug-compatible security solutions.

 The ABCs of Security - Security & Privacy Research Center - CIO   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Information security is the process of protecting data from accidental or intentional misuse by persons inside or outside of an organization, including employees, consultants, and yes, the much-feared hacker.
It demonstrates that the earlier you build security into the software engineering process, the less security costs—just as it costs less to build an alarm system into the plans for a bank than it does to install the alarm system once the bank is built.
When it comes to information security, there are few standards and little expertise, and no one wants to talk about how to do it right for fear of painting a bull's-eye on their organization.

The justification for this shift in military policy, one that echoes a similar shift by Washington, are the challenges of the 21st century for the British rulers: the priority of prosecuting their “war on terrorism,” which includes dealing with “rogue states.”
In the case of the United Kingdom, the strategic alliance with the United States is essential given British imperialism’s declining role in the world over decades.
