Abstract:
As online collaboration between businesses increases, securing these interactions becomes of utmost importance. Not only must entities protect themselves and their electronic collaborations, but they must also ensure compliance to a plethora of security-related laws and industry standards. Our research has focused in detail on the cross-enterprise security problems faced by collaborating businesses. Apart from our most recent work which investigates a novel model and tool to support e-businesses' security negotiations, we previously defined a comprehensive development methodology to aid companies in creating secure and trusted interactions. This paper aims to advance those proposals by presenting and discussing a key stage of their evaluation. This stage uses interviews with industry-based security professionals from the field, to gather critical, objective feedback on the use and suitability of the proposals in fulfilling their aims.
