Daily Term: Threat Modeling

Threat Modeling

Threat Modeling is a process for identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential security threats in a system during its design phase. For example, a team might use STRIDE (Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, Elevation of Privilege) to analyze risks in a web app, addressing issues like unauthorized access. Threat modeling improves security by focusing on risks early, but it requires expertise and can be time-intensive.
