What is Threat Modeling?

With the enhancement of technology, cyber attackers use the latest tricks and techniques to access unauthorized data and perform malicious activities in the organization’s system or network. Unfortunately, this is due to many security vulnerabilities that go undetected, forming the attack surface.

Due to the impact of security vulnerabilities, cybersecurity professionals are deploying countermeasures to safeguard the systems, networks, or data. For such instances, threat modeling emerged to identify the vulnerabilities left undetected even after performing traditional security testing methods.

What is threat modeling?

Threat modeling is a process used by cybersecurity professionals to identify the application, system, network, or business process security vulnerabilities and to develop effective measures to prevent or mitigate threats. It consists of a structured process with these objectives: identify security threats and potential vulnerabilities, define threat and vulnerability criticality, and prioritize remediation methods.
