Threat Modeling: A Comprehensive Guide to Securing Systems
Threat modeling is a structured process used to identify potential security threats and vulnerabilities within a system, application, or business process. At its core, it's about thinking like an attacker to anticipate how a system could be compromised and then defining countermeasures to prevent or mitigate those attacks. This proactive approach aims to build security in from the earliest stages of development, rather than trying to add it on as an afterthought.
