This paper discusses a new method for evaluating technology products based upon the appropriateness within the context that they will be deployed. By applying a Use Case-based methodology, information security professionals can more clearly identify detailed protection requirements for a given environment. For example, a Use Case can clarify different application security requirements between retail storefronts and back-end e-commerce datacenters. The benefits of such an approach include: ensuring the appropriate level of security is implemented, avoiding over-paying for products, as well as a clearer understanding of protective capabilities of the system.
