threat-modeling

Threat modeling for new features involves mapping the attack surface, identifying vulnerabilities using the PASTA framework and Adam Shostack's 4-question method, and generating prioritized risk registers with concrete mitigation plans.

Mapping an attack surface and identifying security risks is best achieved by analyzing component mapping and data flows, then producing visual models like Mermaid diagrams and STRIDE threat tables for clear communication.

The PASTA framework works for risk assessment by providing a structured approach to systematically uncover vulnerabilities, assess critical components, identify logic flaws, and build actionable defenses before exploitation occurs.

Yes, you can use STRIDE threat tables and Mermaid diagrams for security analysis to visually model component maps, data flows, and attack trees, ensuring clear communication of identified threats and defenses.

You need structured threat modeling for your system before launching new features or applications to proactively identify potential threats like payment fraud, data breaches, and denial-of-service attacks, and to define prevention methods.

Yes, this security analysis approach generates actionable mitigation plans by producing prioritized risk registers that translate identified threats and logic flaws into concrete defensive actions for your application.
