Threat Modeling
A structured approach to identifying, quantifying, and addressing security risks by analyzing potential threats, attack vectors, and the assets that need protection.
Threat modeling is a proactive security practice that systematically identifies and prioritizes potential threats to a system. Common frameworks include STRIDE (Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, Elevation of Privilege) and PASTA (Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis).
The process typically involves: defining the system’s assets, identifying potential threats and attackers, analyzing attack vectors, assessing risk levels, and determining countermeasures. Threat modeling should be performed during system design and revisited as the system evolves.
For teams, threat modeling helps prioritize security investments. Understanding which credentials are most critical (and most targeted) guides decisions about password rotation frequency, MFA requirements, and access control policies.
