We identify the threats to your web application to further ensure resilience security and minimize risk
At Nexta Security we understand that each organization has unique security challenges and requirements. Our cybersecurity solutions are customized to align with your business.
What is an Application Threat Modeling
Application threat modeling is a natural progression following a web application security architecture review, providing a deeper analysis of potential threats and risks.
We take a proactive approach to application security by using threat modeling to identify design flaws and potential threats before development begins. This help understand the attack surface and implement stronger security controls, reducing risk and exposure.
The outcome of this effort is a detailed report outlining findings and actionable recommendations to strengthen your application stack and reduce risk.
Why performing a Threat Modeling
Application threat modeling is one of the most cost-effective and durable methods for securing an application early in the Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC).
Through application threat modeling we will:
- Identify potential threats to the application and uncover design-related security flaws and weaknesses
- Recommend appropriate security controls to mitigate the identified issues
- Provide documentation demonstrating due diligence in mitigating security risks
- Educate and support your development team in building more secure and resilient software
Threat modeling serves as a foundational element of the DevSecOps paradigm, aligning seamlessly with Agile methodologies. Organizations that successfully adopt DevSecOps typically have a mature threat modeling process in place, ensuring that security is integrated, or
baked in, throughout their products.
How we conduct a Threat Modeling
Threat modeling is a structured process. We assess your application against industry-recognized security best practices, including OWASP Top 10, CSA CCM, and NIST CSF, and map identified threats to the six STRIDE categories:
- Spoofing
- Tampering
- Repudiation
- Information Disclosure
- Denial of Service
- Elevation of Privilege
At the end of this exercise we will help you:
- Understand the security boundaries of your application
- Identify the attack vectors of your application
- Identify the threats
- Identify the vulnerabilities of your application
- Create the security requirements
- Prioritized the remediation effort
- Identify additional security recommendations
