Want to understand what cyber threats your organisation faces? You should build a repeatable, scalable, and actionable threat modelling process.
Threat modelling enables organisations to:
- Allow security and development teams to pinpoint high-value targets (assets) and data exposure early in the design phase – before applications are moved to production.
- Promote the use of secure code, enforcing standards organisation-wide.
- Enable pen testers to focus on the most critical entry points in applications.
- Generate reports and checklists to validate that proper security controls are in place to meet compliance objectives
But...
Although threat modelling has been around for years, it has not widely used despite the many benefits it provides. This is due to the labour-intensive and manual process that requires lots of resources and produces outdated outputs within days of delivery. As enterprises become aware of the need for threat modelling, they are uncertain of how to implement the process throughout their organisation and scale it across an entire cyber ecosystem consisting of thousands of applications, networks, and/or cloud infrastructure.
What's the answer?
The process we have developed is based on ThreatModeler’s automated threat modelling solution, which supports an enterprise’s secure SDLC by identifying, predicting and defining threats, empowering security and DevOps teams to make security decisions.
Our threat modelling process provides an enterprise-wide view of the entire attack surface, enabling enterprises to minimise their overall risk.
When fully implemented, threat modelling provides organisation's with an effective way to prioritise and mitigate vulnerabilities before exploitation, producing a significant and achievable return on the organisation’s development and security investment.
