Cooking with PASTA: The Secret Ingredient Behind Our Services
PASTA Threat Modeling:
7 Stages for Simulating Cyber Attacks
Our risk-based threat modeling methodology consists of 7 stages for simulating cyber attacks and analyzing threats to the organization and application. This allows our pentesters, redteamers, and cybersecurity analysts to help your organization identify critical vulnerabilities and minimize real-world risks associated business impact.
-
Define Business Context of Application
This considers the inherent application risk profile and address other business impact considerations early in the SDLC or for given Sprint under Scrum activities.
-
Technology Enumeration
You can’t protect what you don’t know is the philosophy behind this stage. It’s intended to decompose the technology stack that supports the application components that realize the business objectives identified from Stage 1.
-
Application Decomposition
Focuses on understanding the data flows amongst application components and services in the application threat model.
-
Threat Analysis
Reviews threat assertions from data within the environment as well as industry threat intelligence that is relevant to service, data, and deployment model.
-
Weakness / Vulnerability Identification
Identifies the vulnerabilities and weaknesses within the application design and code and correlates to see if it supports the threat assertions from the prior stage.
-
Attack Simulation
This stage focuses on emulating attacks that could exploit identified weaknesses/vulnerabilities from the prior stage. It helps to also determine the threat viability via attack patterns.
-
Residual Risk Analysis
This stage centers around remediating vulnerabilities or weaknesses in code or design that can facilitate threats and underlying attack patterns. It may warrant some risk acceptance by broader application owners or development managers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cybersecurity services does VerSprite offer?
VerSprite provides cybersecurity consulting across three areas: offensive security (Breakers), DevSecOps and secure development (Builders), and managed detection and threat intelligence (Defenders). Services include penetration testing, red teaming, application and organizational threat modeling, MDR, vulnerability management, virtual CISO, and risk and compliance support.
What do Builders, Breakers, and Defenders mean at VerSprite?
VerSprite organizes its services into three teams. Builders integrate security into development and cloud environments through threat modeling, automation, and CI/CD security. Breakers emulate real-world attacks through penetration testing, red teaming, and adversary simulation. Defenders detect and respond to threats using managed detection and response, threat intelligence, and open-source intelligence.
What is PASTA threat modeling?
PASTA (Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis) is a risk-centric, seven-stage threat modeling methodology co-created by VerSprite CEO Tony UcedaVélez. It aligns security with business impact and real-world attack scenarios, prioritizing threats based on the magnitude of impact they could cause rather than technical severity alone.
What are the seven stages of PASTA threat modeling?
The seven stages are: define the business context of the application, technology enumeration, application decomposition, threat analysis, weakness and vulnerability identification, attack simulation, and residual risk analysis.
How does VerSprite differ from other cybersecurity firms?
VerSprite takes a risk-based rather than compliance-driven approach, examining credible threats to measure potential business impact instead of only assessing security controls. With over 16 years of experience and as developers of the PASTA methodology, VerSprite tailors each engagement to a client’s specific environment, assets, and business priorities.
What industries does VerSprite serve?
VerSprite serves industries where security failures translate directly to financial loss, safety risk, or regulatory exposure, including financial services and FinTech, healthcare and life sciences, SaaS and technology providers, retail and e-commerce, and manufacturing and critical infrastructure.
Is VerSprite CREST accredited?
Yes. VerSprite holds CREST accreditation for web and mobile application security testing, alongside team certifications including CISSP, CISA, CISM, and GIAC.
