RUP is not a single concrete prescriptive process, but rather an adaptable process framework, intended to be tailored by development organizations and software project teams, who select the elements of the process that are appropriate for their needs." (Mark S Merkow & Lakshmikanth Raghavan, "Secure and Resilient Software Development", 2010)
