threat-mitigation-mapping

Threat-to-control mapping links identified threats from frameworks like STRIDE to specific security controls and mitigations. This process facilitates risk assessment by validating control effectiveness and identifying defense-in-depth gaps across network and application layers.

Defense-in-depth assessment analyzes the layering of security controls across network and application layers to identify gaps. It validates whether identified threats in a system design are mitigated by controls distributed across multiple architectural layers.

Control gap analysis identifies areas where security threats are not adequately mitigated by existing controls. The Skill validates that all identified threats in a system design are mapped to at least one preventive, detective, or corrective control distributed across multiple layers.

Yes, the Skill utilizes Python data structures for threat and control modeling, including categories, layers, and implementation statuses. This approach structures the mapping between identified threats and corresponding security controls to facilitate remediation planning.

You need to assess control effectiveness during risk assessment and remediation planning. Security architects and compliance officers use it to validate that identified threats are mapped to appropriate mitigations and to identify defense-in-depth gaps across system layers.
