Cyber Threat Modeling as a Service (TMaaS)

Apply a Risk-Based Approach to Threat Modeling

Modeling your application for threats helps to preemptively address security within your software development lifecycle. There’s more to threat modeling than mapping a handful of threat categories to your application and building a data flow diagram. Learn how we can tailor the PASTA approach to fit your development timelines and maximize the output of each application threat model →

Our PASTA Threat Modeling for Every Stage approach enables you to identify possible vulnerabilities at each phase of your software development lifecycle. Our team collaborates with you to devise a custom threat model that aligns with your business goals.

PASTA Threat Modeling (Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis)
VerSprite’s Risk-Based Threat Model Methodology

VerSprite leverages our PASTA (Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis) methodology to apply a risk-based approach to threat modeling. This methodology integrates business impact, inherent application risk, trust boundaries amongst application components, correlated threats, and attack patterns that exploit identified weaknesses from the threat modeling exercises. Prior to the PASTA threat model, most application threat models were not even considering actual threats.

As the name implies, a key goal for threat modeling is to do just that – model threats. Threat categorization mnemonics (like STRIDE) are helpful for beginners, but product managers and their superiors are eager to know which threats are topical to their business, product, and platform. Furthermore, limiting threats to a handful of categories may not include the actual threats adversarial groups are planning.

PASTA provides a risk centric threat modeling approach that is evidence-based. VerSprite’s security experts correlate real threats to your attack surface of application components and identify risk by first understanding the context of what the software or application is intended to do for the business or its clients. We also conduct exploitation tests that support threat motives within the model to validate whether they are probabilistic. Correlating viability with sustained impact allows this methodology to resonate as a highly effective risk-focused threat modeling approach.

Optimizing Testing Budget with Cyber Threat Modeling

When it comes to securing your organization’s software applications, one of the most effective strategies is threat modeling. By strategically finding and mitigating potential threats early in the development process, you can conserve valuable time, resources, and funds. At VerSprite,

we provide comprehensive Cyber Threat Modeling as a service. that can help your organization optimize its testing budget.

Targeted testing and code review form integral parts of our TMaaS offering. Our skilled team of security experts conducts a thorough analysis of your software applications to show vulnerabilities and weaknesses. By concentrating on specific areas of concern, we ensure your testing efforts are efficient and effective, saving you both time and money.

Along with targeted testing, our TMaaS solution also aids in finding gaps in the requirements process. By partnering with your development team, we review your project’s requirements to ensure they are comprehensive and adequately address potential security risks. This proactive approach can help you avoid expensive rework and delays in the future.

Another significant advantage of our TMaaS solution is the cost savings through early remediation. By identifying and addressing security issues early in the development lifecycle, you can avoid the higher costs associated with fixing vulnerabilities in later stages. Our team provides actionable recommendations and guidance to help you promptly remediate any identified threats.

Cyber Threat Modeling for Every Stage

At VerSprite, we offer a comprehensive Threat Modeling as a Service solution designed to integrate seamlessly into any stage of the development process. Whether you’re in the early planning phase or nearing the end of your software development lifecycle, our solution is flexible enough to adapt to your changing needs.

One of the key benefits of our Threat Modeling as a Service is its capacity to ensure software security at all levels. Our team of seasoned security professionals employs industry best practices to identify potential threats, vulnerabilities, and risks throughout the software development lifecycle. By conducting thorough threat modeling exercises, we assist you in prioritizing your security efforts and making informed decisions to mitigate potential risks.
