Model Your Modeling
Systematic identification and prioritization of security threats to your applications and infrastructure. We use proven methodologies like STRIDE and attack trees to map your threat landscape and guide security investments where they matter most.
Threat Modeling?
Threat Modeling is a structured approach to identifying, quantifying, and addressing security threats to your applications and systems. By analyzing your architecture, data flows, trust boundaries, and potential attackers, threat modeling reveals vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
Our experts use industry-standard methodologies including STRIDE, DREAD, PASTA, and attack trees to systematically evaluate your systems. Threat modeling is most effective when performed during design phases, but provides value at any stage of the software development lifecycle.
Our Process
A structured, comprehensive approach tailored to your specific needs and requirements.
System Decomposition
Architecture Review
Analyzing system architecture, components, data flows, trust boundaries, and external dependencies.
Data Flow Diagrams
Creating detailed DFDs that map how data moves through your system and where it crosses trust boundaries.
Asset Identification
Cataloging critical assets, sensitive data stores, and high-value targets that attackers would pursue.
Threat Identification
STRIDE Analysis
Systematically evaluating each component for Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, and Elevation of Privilege threats.
Attack Tree Development
Building attack trees that model how adversaries could achieve their goals through different attack paths.
Threat Library Mapping
Cross-referencing identified threats against known threat libraries, MITRE ATT&CK, and industry-specific threat intelligence.
Risk Analysis & Prioritization
Risk Scoring
Quantifying each threat using DREAD or custom scoring models based on damage potential, reproducibility, exploitability, affected users, and discoverability.
Impact Assessment
Evaluating business impact of each threat scenario including financial, operational, regulatory, and reputational consequences.
Prioritization Matrix
Creating a prioritized risk matrix that guides resource allocation and remediation efforts.
Mitigation Strategies
Control Recommendations
Specific countermeasures and security controls for each identified threat, ranked by effectiveness and implementation effort.
Design Pattern Guidance
Secure design patterns and architectural changes to eliminate or reduce threat exposure at the design level.
Integration Playbook
