Towards framework definition to obtain secure business process from legacy information systems

摘要

Nowadays, enterprises deal with Legacy Information Systems (LIS) that are very important to carry out their daily tasks. These systems that are mission critical and very difficult to replace, contain much information about the Business Processes (BP) that support the operation of the enterprise. In most cases, this information is not easy to obtain and on the contrary, the effort in time and money required to obtain it discourages any attempt to carry out this task. In this paper, we present the preliminary definition of a framework that, through model transformation, will allow us to obtain information about the BP from the LIS, paying special attention to security requirements. Thus, it will be possible to have Secure Business Processes (SBP) that, besides providing an additional view of the information that underlies the LIS, could be used as a starting point in a process of creation of information Systems.
