Threat modelling is the proactive process of identifying potential risks and threats to your product. This approach allows you to create tests and countermeasures in order to respond to these potential threats. Threat modeling for cybersecurity is a rapidly evolving discipline and should be part of your development cycle
Cybersecurity threats are ever-evolviung. Threat modelling plays an active defence role in optimizing security by identifying and mitigate threats within the context of the target asset i.e. an application.
Threat Modelling is crucial for secure software development. It is important that the team responsible for developing a software get the necessary and correct understanding of how to do it. Threat Modeling helps your architecture team to:
Implement application security during the design phase itself have several benefits which includes:
Based on the threat, attack possiblity and risk evaluation, the final phase would be to plan and implement your mitigations within the threat model itself.
These conditions would be around each attack required for it to be successful
The risk evaluation for each attack would help prioirtise the mitigation as the threat model matures for the application
Attacks that can be used to realise each threat with in the help of threat trees and abuse cases would be part of the modeling process
Determining threats that put the assets identified to risk is a key phase during this modeling process
Trust boundary is the boundary between trust level or privilege as the data flow through the application.
Activity matrix would involve the following:
Iidentifying key assets,
Identifying the roles within the application
Identifying how these components interact with each other
Our reports are comprehensive and include all the evidence that supports our findings. We give you a risk rating that considers how likely an attack is as well as the impact it could have. We don’t create panic scenarios. Our mitigation is detailed, covering both strategic and tactical areas to help our clients prepare a remediation plan.
Apart from the range of commercial and open source tools available for specific testing, our team has its own custom scripts for efficient testing. We provide accurate results to make sure our clients completely understand any vulnerabilities we report.
Our teams are led by veteran security consultants accredited by CREST standards for the last several years. Our experience shows that our clients are best served by giving them the right advice for their cyber security needs. We do not believe in spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt to generate more business.
