A crucial component of the Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle is the Threat Modeling Tool (SDL). Early detection and mitigation of potential security issues, when they are still manageable and affordable to fix, is made possible for software architects. It consequently significantly lowers the overall cost of development. Additionally, since we created the tool with non-security… Continue reading The Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool (TMT)

Consider a threat model for your home to help you better understand threat modelling. Your home likely has assets, or things that an attacker would value, like cash, jewellery,… Continue reading Threat Modeling: Choosing the Right Method for Your Business
IriusRisk Threat Modeling for Security and Development Teams
Threat modelling: what is it?Basics of Threat Modeling Threat modeling’s fundamental tenet is the identification, disclosure, and management of security flaws. This is accomplished by being aware of the threats and attacks the system might face as well as the corresponding countermeasures (controls). Security by design vs. Fixing in production Threat modeling’s guiding principle is… Continue reading IriusRisk Threat Modeling for Security and Development Teams
Kenna: RISK-BASED VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT
Why You Should Consider More Than CVSSAs previously mentioned, one typical method of sorting and prioritising which vulnerabilities to fix first is patching vulnerabilities that have a CVSS score in a specific range. However, using CVSS scores to rank vulnerabilities has some built-in issues. It’s a static scoring method, to start. Prior to any exploits… Continue reading Kenna: RISK-BASED VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT
A Holistic Performance Management Framework for Implementing Cybersecurity Strategies by BCG & STC
The frequency and cost of cyberattacks is accelerating. Globally, the cost of cybercrime is estimated to have risen from $445B in 2015 to over $2.2 trillion today. The frequency and size of data breaches are growing exponentially across all industries (Exhibit 1). In 2021, leading organizations across almost every sector reported major attacks, including tech… Continue reading A Holistic Performance Management Framework for Implementing Cybersecurity Strategies by BCG & STC
