Threat Modeling (TM)

Proactively identify and evaluate potential Security Threats and
Vulnerabilities during Product Design, understand the impact of Threats
and apply appropriate security controls and solutions.

When should Threat Modeling be initiated?

Our Virtual CISO (vCISO) Services provide Threat Modeling at the early stages of your Product and Application Design, and every time there is a change in Product, Application Functionality, System Infrastructure or System Architecture.

IRM Consulting & Advisory also provides Threat Modeling after a Security Incident has occurred or new vulnerabilities discovered. Without Threat Modeling, your security is a gamble—and in today’s business environment, your SaaS Products & Services are sure to be exposed to Business Loss.

Benefits of Threat Modeling

STRIDE – (Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, Elevation of Privilege)
PASTA – (Risk-Centric Approach): Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis
TRIKE – (Risk-Based Approach with unique implementation and Risk-Modelling process)
VAST – (Visual, Agile, and Simple Threat Modeling)
OCTAVE – (Focused on assessing organizational (non-technical) risks that may result from breached information assets)

We use Threat Modeling methodologies and tools to derive your Product Security requirements so you can design, build, and deliver Secure Products to your Customers.
