Unified Automated Threat Models are Here

Application automated threat models are the future? FORK is at the forefront of this field, offering a comprehensive solution that not only identifies threats but also streamlines the mitigation process. By integrating PASTA (Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis) threat modeling with lifecycle management and response orchestration, FORK ensures that identified risks are prioritized and assigned to the appropriate teams for resolution. This seamless flow from threat identification to mitigation reduces delays, ensuring that high-priority threats are addressed promptly. FORK also provides detailed guidance on mitigating each threat, embedded directly into the developer’s workflow.

Automated Threat Models: A Holistic Approach

FORK supports tracking security findings throughout the development lifecycle and across all applications. This process is automated and integrated into five key stages:

1. Asset Inventory and Security Assessment: FORK provides a comprehensive service catalog and continuously assesses services for security risks across code, dependencies, secrets, and APIs.
2. Context and Prioritization: One of the key differentiators of FORK is its ability to unify code, runtime, and business contexts. This unified view provides a comprehensive understanding of each security issue’s impact. Rather than prioritizing findings solely based on technical severity, FORK allows teams to prioritize issues based on their potential business impact. This ensures that resources are focused on the most critical areas, aligning security efforts with business objectives.
3. Finding Resolution: FORK tracks security findings throughout the resolution process from coding a fix to its deployment across all production environments.
4. Verification and Monitoring: FORK monitors the deployment of fixes in real time, ensuring they are fully rolled out to all affected application deployments.
5. Reporting and Improvement: FORK generates detailed reports on security debt and remediation effectiveness throughout the SDLC, helping organizations continuously measure and improve their security posture.

Response Orchestration: Streamlining High-Friction Interactions

FORK’s response orchestration goes beyond reacting to identified threats—it automates the often labor-intensive interactions between developers and security teams, streamlining the entire remediation process. This includes ownership routing, Service Level Objectives (SLOs) tracking, and automating high-friction manual tasks that typically slow down security response.

• Ownership Routing and SLO Tracking: FORK automates the routing and assignment of ownership for each security finding, ensuring accountability and prompt resolution. The process is integrated into existing workflows, reducing delays. FORK also tracks SLOs, ensuring that findings are resolved within required timeframes, further enhancing efficiency.
• Automating High-Friction Tasks: FORK automates the labor-intensive interactions that often delay risk remediation. This reduces manual effort and speeds up the process, allowing AppSec teams to stay aligned with engineering needs while enabling developers to focus on high-impact activities.
• Minimizing Response Times and Enhancing Precision: FORK’s response orchestration minimizes response times by automating actions based on a deep understanding of the application’s lifecycle and context. Whether deploying a security patch, reconfiguring access controls, or implementing more complex remediation strategies, FORK ensures the right actions are taken at the right time, with minimal manual intervention.

Conclusion: Automated Threat Modeling Approach for Comprehensive Security

FORK’s integration of PASTA threat modeling, lifecycle management, and response orchestration into a single platform provides a comprehensive, unified approach to application security. By starting with a robust threat model, ensuring visibility and accountability throughout the lifecycle, and automating responses to threats, FORK enables organizations to stay ahead of risks and maintain a strong security posture.

This unified approach not only enhances the accuracy and effectiveness of security efforts but also aligns them with business objectives, ensuring that security is not just a technical requirement but a strategic advantage. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, FORK stands ready to help organizations navigate the complexities of modern application security with confidence and ease.

By leveraging Automated Threat Models, FORK ensures that security measures are always up-to-date and aligned with the latest threat intelligence, providing a proactive and dynamic defense against potential risks.
