What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you systematically identify, analyze, and understand potential security threats and vulnerabilities within your systems and applications.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Threat Modeling Methodologies: Understand and apply frameworks like STRIDE, PASTA, and LINDDUN to categorize and analyze threats.
- Attack Analysis: Learn to construct and interpret attack trees to visualize potential attack paths.
- Vulnerability Identification: Familiarize yourself with common attack patterns, including OWASP Top 10 and CWEs.
- Risk Assessment: Utilize frameworks like CVSS and DREAD to quantify and prioritize risks.
- Security Architecture: Explore patterns like Defense in Depth and Zero Trust to build more resilient systems.
- Use Case: Before deploying a new microservice, use this Skill to perform a STRIDE threat model to identify potential vulnerabilities related to spoofing, tampering, and information disclosure, and then apply appropriate security controls.
