Threat Modelling is a process for identifying potential threats and vulnerabilities in a software application or system. It helps teams develop strategies to mitigate risks.
Key Steps:
- Identifying Assets: Determine what needs protection within the system.
- Identifying Threats: Analyse potential threats to assets, such as data breaches or unauthorised access.
- Assessing Vulnerabilities: Evaluate weaknesses that could be exploited by threats.
- Developing Mitigation Strategies: Create plans to address identified threats and vulnerabilities.
Effective threat modelling enhances security by proactively addressing risks before they can be exploited.
