threat_modeling

To document security threats for a new project, generate a comprehensive threat_model.md that identifies assets, trust boundaries, and potential risks. This structured approach ensures you capture required security guarantees during project kickoff or architecture reviews.

STRIDE-based threat modeling is a methodology to systematically identify and mitigate security risks early in the project lifecycle. You should use it during project kickoff, architecture reviews, or after major changes that affect trust boundaries and system security.

Perform an architecture review by analyzing the system to identify assets and trust boundaries, then applying a STRIDE-inspired methodology to enumerate risks. This process defines required security guarantees and outputs a structured, auditable threat_model.md document.

Yes, you can use this threat modeling process after introducing features that affect trust boundaries. It systematically identifies and documents new security threats, updating the required security guarantees to maintain an auditable security posture.

The best way to enumerate security risks for an auditable threat model is applying a STRIDE-inspired methodology to map assets and trust boundaries. This generates a comprehensive threat_model.md documenting threats and required security guarantees.

A threat_model.md file for security analysis should include documented system assets, defined trust boundaries, enumerated STRIDE threat categories, and required security guarantees. This structured format ensures the threat modeling process remains auditable.
