Introduction to Threat Modeling
Threat Modeling is a key technique used in the Security by Design approach. It focuses on identifying, assessing, and mitigating threats, and establishing security controls for a given system.
Security by Design embeds security principles early in the IT system development, reducing breach risks, costs of later fixes, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Benefits
- Reduce costs by not creating vulnerabilities in the first place, therefore avoiding incidents, additional communication and more.
- Reduce risks by reducing the potential impact of a security breach, including financial loss, downtime, and damage to reputation.
- Speed Time-to-Market as secure systems enable businesses to nimbly adapt to market changes and innovate confidently, knowing systems are safe.
