1. Introduction

Securit has been increasingly present as a vital component in any field and it has evolved during the

last 10 years as an answer to the issue of globalization (through Big Brother). The shift in paradigm

and the subsequent evolution of technology have brought about new concepts such as: security without

borders, cloud computing, big data, mobility, etc. Information is transient and elusive and is often not

checked against various sources, which is why the processing power to filter and analyze big amounts

of data is constantly growing. A central aspect is what an information system should be able to do,

taking into account that it is often challenged by the functional requirements of interested parties such

as users and managers. Other aspects, such as the defining the information system without mentioning

what is should do, are demanded as nonfunctional requirements.

2. Enterprise Intelligence or information flow management

As information systems are developed and used in many fields of our modern society, they must often

undertake one of the aspects related to safety or security. A growing tendency of interconnecting such

information systems also creates the need to consider both aspects for the same systems, that is safety

and security. See the Intelligent Business, a new concept known as Enterprise Intelligence
