Threat modeling at the design stage is the highest ROI security activity. Most teams skip it because they think it is complex. It is not.
What You Are Protecting
Assets: data, money, reputation, availability. Start here.
Who Wants To Attack
Threat actors: external attackers, malicious insiders, curious employees. Different capabilities.
How They Would
STRIDE framework: spoofing, tampering, repudiation, information disclosure, denial of service, elevation of privilege.
What You'll Do
Controls mapped to threats. Accept, mitigate, transfer, or avoid each.
Who This Is For
- CISOs and security engineering leads
