3. Overview of Threat Modeling Process Understanding the importance of threat modeling in enhancing security measures . Highlighting the systematic approach to identifying and mitigating potential threats. Workflow Overview: Identifying Potential Threats Emphasizing the structured process of recognizing and analyzing threats . Outlining the steps involved in threat identification, from generic to actual threats. Data Flow Design and Threat Generation Discussing the significance of designing data flow diagrams for threat assessment . Exploring how generating generic threats aids in the initial threat modeling phase. Actual Threat Identification and Dashboard Updates Detailing the process of identifying specific threats beyond generic ones . Demonstrating the importance of updating threat dashboards for real-time threat monitoring Vulnerability Assessment and Risk Evaluation Explaining the critical role of assessing vulnerabilities and evaluating associated risks . Stressing the need to consider criticality and likelihood in risk analysis. 01 02 03 04 05 Introduction to Threat Modeling Process

4. Login and Data Flow Design Security team logs into the MyThreatModel web application . Analyzing high-level architecture provided by the client . Designing a Data Flow Diagram (DFD) using user-friendly graphic interfaces. Threat Assessment Tool generates generic threats based on the DFD . Reviewing and finding these threats too generic. Actual Threat Identification Generating a detailed report by identifying actual threats . Correlating actual threats with generic threats from the tool. Dashboard and Vulnerability Analysis Updating identified threats in a dashboard . Categorizing threats based on design components . Assessing vulnerabilities and comparing with existing controls.

5. Data Flow Design Security team logs into the MyThreatModel web application . They analyze the high-level architecture provided by the client . Using user-friendly graphic interfaces, they design a Data Flow Diagram (DFD). Threat Generation The tool generates generic threats based on the DFD . The team reviews these threats determines the generic threats. They proceed to identify actual threats by generating a detailed report and correlating them with the generic threats. Key Focus Understanding the flow of data within the system . Generating initial threats based on the designed data flow . Transitioning from generic threats to specific, actionable threats through detailed analysis. Data Flow Design and Threat Generation 01 02 03

6. Actual Threat Identification and Dashboard Updates Detailed Report Generation The security team conducts a thorough analysis to identify specific actual threats . A detailed report is compiled, outlining the identified threats in detail. Correlation with Generic Threats The team cross-references the identified actual threats with the generic threats generated by the tool . This correlation helps in understanding the relevance and specificity of the identified threats. Dashboard Updates Identified threats are promptly updated on the dashboard for real-time tracking . Threats are categorized based on design components to facilitate effective management. Vulnerability Analysis The team assesses vulnerabilities and compares them with existing controls . This analysis aids in understanding the potential impact of vulnerabilities on the system's security posture. 01 02 03 04

7. Assessing Vulnerabilities Review identified threats and vulnerabilities. Analyze vulnerabilities in relation to existing controls. Consider the impact of vulnerabilities on the system. Evaluating Risks Evaluate potential threats and associated risks. Assess the criticality and likelihood of each identified risk. Prioritize risks based on their impact and probability. Reporting and Communication Communicate identified vulnerabilities and risks to stakeholders. Provide recommendations for addressing high-risk vulnerabilities. Ensure clear and concise reporting for effective decision-making. Risk Mitigation Strategies Develop mitigation strategies for high-risk vulnerabilities. Implement controls to reduce the likelihood and impact of identified risks. Continuously monitor and update risk mitigation measures. Vulnerability Assessment and Risk Evaluation 01 02 03 04

8. Shortlisting High-Likelihood Threats Identify threats with a high likelihood of occurrence based on thorough analysis . Prioritize threats that pose significant risks to the system or data . Consider the criticality and potential impact of each high-likelihood threat . Evaluate existing controls and determine if they are sufficient to mitigate identified threats effectively . Create a shortlist of high-likelihood threats that require immediate attention and enhanced security measures . Shortlisting High-Likelihood Threats

9. Client Reporting and Communication Detailed Client Report Provide a comprehensive overview of identified threats, vulnerabilities, and risks . Include detailed analysis of high-likelihood threats and inadequate controls . Present findings in a clear and structured format for client understanding. Communication Strategy Outline effective communication methods for conveying threat modeling results to the client . Emphasize the importance of transparent and concise reporting . Highlight the significance of client engagement throughout the threat modeling process. Actionable Recommendations Offer actionable recommendations based on identified threats and risks . Propose mitigation strategies and controls to address potential vulnerabilities . Ensure that recommendations are practical and aligned with the client's security objectives. 01 02 03
