Did you forget about testing. Agile software puts major emphasis on unit testing code thoroughly. Unittests can be put to use creating secure code. Create security unittests!! In this respect agile can be more secure than standard, design by the Requirements Doc development.
Agile is great, maybe even critical for small to medium sized businesses with a small internal dev staff to develop apps for use in house. It probably has other uses too. In house app dev often is plauged by changing/unclear requirements and the resources aren't there to spend big $$$ up front. Also these users usually need something up and going ASAP. Agile really fits the bill here.
