Threat Modeling
What is Threat Modeling?
Threat modeling is a structured process used to identify, quantify, and address potential security threats to an application or system. It involves analyzing the architecture to find vulnerabilities and determining the most effective ways to mitigate those risks during the design phase.
Why It Matters
-
It helps developers build security into the product from the beginning rather than trying to fix issues after the system is built.
-
By identifying the most likely attack vectors, teams can prioritize their security efforts and resources more effectively.
-
It provides a clear overview of the system’s security posture for stakeholders and compliance auditors.
