Threat Modeling
Threat modeling is a process used in software development and security to identify potential security risks and vulnerabilities in a system, as well as build strategies for minimizing or removing those risks. It involves evaluating the system architecture and identifying potential attack vectors, determining the probability and effect of these threats, and implementing mitigation techniques to counteract them.
Diverse threat modeling approaches exist, including the Microsoft Threat Modeling Framework (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/securityengineering/sdl/threatmodeling), the Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information disclosure, Denial of service, and Elevation of privilege (STRIDE) method, and the Process of Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis (PASTA) method. Typically, these approaches involve the following steps:
- Determine the assets and data that must be safeguarded within the system.
- Identify the potential threats to these assets and data...
