Threat modeling: fix security at the design stage

We find how your system could be attacked before a line of code is written.

What is threat modeling?

Threat modeling is a structured way to find security risks in a system's design. Experts map components, data flows and trust boundaries, identify likely threats using methods such as STRIDE, rate the risks and define controls, so security problems are fixed in design instead of after release.

Design flaws are the costliest to fix later.

Threat modeling catches them early, when a change is just a diagram update.
