Threat Modeling (TM)

Threat modeling is a structured process for identifying, prioritizing, and mitigating security threats and design flaws early in development, so your software is secure by design.

  • STRIDE methodology
  • Secure by design
  • AI & Agentic AI coverage

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

  • It is better to find security flaws when there is time to fix them.
  • It can save time, revenue, and the reputation of your company.
  • To build a secure application.
  • To bridge the gap between developers and security.
  • It provides a document of all the identified threats and rated threats.
  • It offers knowledge and awareness of the latest risks and vulnerabilities.

What are the Threat Modeling Techniques?

  • 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)

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions about Threat Modeling

Threat modeling is a structured process for identifying, prioritizing, and mitigating potential security threats and design flaws in a system early in development. By mapping how data flows and where an attacker could strike, teams build software that is secure by design rather than patched after release.

Threat modeling is most valuable early, during the design of a new product, feature, or architecture change, before code is written. It is far cheaper to fix a design flaw on a whiteboard than in production, which is why shifting security left reduces both risk and remediation cost.

Threat modeling is proactive and happens during design, finding weaknesses before they are built; penetration testing is reactive and happens after, finding weaknesses in an existing system. Together they cover the full lifecycle.

Established methodologies such as STRIDE and data-flow-diagram analysis, aligned with secure-design principles in NIST and ISO 27001, extended to AI and Agentic AI systems using NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001.

A documented set of threats and design weaknesses, each prioritized by likelihood and impact, mapped to the affected components, with recommended security controls your engineering team can implement directly into the design.
