Deep dives
Understanding Threat Modeling
Threat modeling is a structured process aimed at identifying potential security risks and vulnerabilities within systems. It involves evaluating what could go wrong and how to address these issues to minimize their impact. The analogy of locking car doors when entering a dangerous area illustrates that threat modeling is a practice we often employ in everyday life, which can also be applied when developing systems. This approach encourages security professionals to balance risks with appropriate mitigations throughout the design process.
