Security engineering involves aspects of social science, psychology (such as designing a system to 'fail well' instead of trying to eliminate all sources of error) and economics, as well as physics, chemistry, mathematics, architecture and landscaping. Some of the techniques used, such as fault tree analysis, are derived from safety engineering. Other techniques such as cryptography were previously restricted to military applications.

Technological advances, principally in the field of computers, have now allowed the creation of far more complex systems, with new and complex security problems. Because modern systems cut across many areas of human endeavor, security engineers not only need consider the mathematical and physical properties of systems; they also need to consider attacks on the people who use and form parts of those systems using social engineering attacks. Secure systems have to resist not only technical attacks, but also coercion, fraud, and deception by confidence tricksters.

According to the Microsoft Developer Network the patterns & practices of Security Engineering consists of the following activities: Security Objectives; Security Design Guidelines; Security Modeling; Security Architecture and Design Review; Security Code Review; Security Testing; Security Tuning; and, Security Deployment Review. These activities are designed to help meet security objectives in the software life cycle." Reference
