Agile methods such as Scrum, Feature Driven Development (FDD), Dynamic System Development Method (DSDM) and eXtreme Programming (XP) have been criticized due to the lack of availability of security elements in their various phases and practices, resulting in the development of unsecure software. Thus, we have proposed the idea of a set of security-focused elements to enhance the existing agile models. In this presentation, the findings of the related research and the highlights of improved agile models after the integration of security, are presented.
