threat_modeling

Threat modeling maps project assets, trust boundaries, and STRIDE threat categories to identify and mitigate security risks early. It provides a structured approach to document security design artifacts during project kickoff, architecture reviews, or feature introductions.

Yes, you can generate a STRIDE threat analysis document for pre-deployment security assessments. The process performs structured STRIDE walkthroughs to map threat categories and produces a threat_model.md file with described guarantees and risk mitigations.

The best way to document security design during architecture reviews is to perform a structured threat modeling walkthrough. This generates a formal threat_model.md artifact at the project root, enumerating required safeguards, guarantees, and risk mitigations.

No dependencies are required to map assets and trust boundaries for security documentation. The threat modeling process operates independently to enumerate your project's architecture and output the final threat_model.md reference file.

You should perform a threat assessment to surface critical assets during project kickoff, architecture reviews, feature introductions, and pre-deployment security assessments. This timing ensures security risks are mitigated early through defensible design artifacts.
