For any given project, it is always helpful to understand the threats that may hinder the overall progress. Threat modeling does the exact same thing. Some benefits of threat modeling are :
- Threat modeling produces software that is inherently secure by design—if the threat modeling is done right in the design phase, then the end product will become inherently secure against most common potential threats.
- Threat modeling allows us to think and discuss product security in a more structured way—instead of discussing security threats in an ad-hoc manner, threat modeling offers a more formal and structured way of enumerating and documenting security threats.
- Threat modeling permits development teams to effectively identify and define security flaws early in the SDLC process.
- Threat modeling allows us to document and share application security...
