System Development Methodologies
-
Waterfall Model:
- Each step in the project must be completed before moving to the next.
- Best for projects with clear goals and requirements
- Less flexible: Difficult to make changes once the project has started
-
Agile Methodologies
- Focuses on iterative development and frequent feedback
- Better for projects with changing requirements
- Cross-functional teams: People from different departments work together
-
Rapid Application Development (RAD):
- Focuses on quick development and user feedback
- Uses prototypes to get feedback and refine requirements
-
DevOps:
- Combines development and operations teams
- Shortens the development cycle and improves delivery speed
Control Identification and Design
-
Access Control: Restricting who can access sensitive information
- User Roles: Different levels of access for different people
- Permissions: Giving specific access based on what a person needs
- Authentication: Verifying a person's identity

Process Controls: Managing system performance and changes
- Audit Trails: Tracking changes to the system
- Logs: Recording system activity
- Real-time monitoring: Tracking the system in real time to identify problems
-
Security Controls: Protecting the system from outside threats
- Encryption: Coding data to make it unreadable to attackers
