Threat Modeling

STRIDE analysis is a systematic methodology for identifying security threats by enumerating Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, and Elevation of Privilege risks across application components.

Perform threat modeling by applying technology decomposition to map component-specific threats, visualizing data flow diagrams, and executing a STRIDE-based threat enumeration to transform architectural understanding into actionable security findings.

Data flow mapping visualizes how data moves through an application to identify potential weaknesses, bridging the gap between architectural understanding and vulnerability hunting by exposing security risks in APIs, databases, and authentication systems.

Use threat modeling before a penetration test to generate a comprehensive risk assessment of the target application, ensuring no critical security threats across components are overlooked during the active vulnerability hunting phase.

Yes, the STRIDE enumeration methodology supports threat prioritization, allowing you to rank actionable security findings based on the severity of risks identified during component decomposition and data flow analysis.

The best way to map component-specific threats is by combining technology decomposition with data flow analysis, allowing tailored vulnerability identification for specific components like APIs, databases, and authentication systems.
