A common question asked by people new to the specifics of cybersecurity. Threat modeling is a practical measure used to protect your business’ data and networks from cyber threats and attacks.
PASTA is not a complicated static framework. It’s an agile methodology that breaks down and solves complex cybersecurity tasks, allows scaling, and evolves with the cybersecurity landscape and business goals.
PASTA is the Process for Attack Simulation & Threat Analysis and is a risk-centric threat modeling methodology aimed at identifying viable threat patterns against an application or system environment.
In this model, you will see engineers, network professionals, developers, architects, business analysts, project managers, security champions, pentesters, and quality assurance engineers. Because they all have some level of involvement and collaboration at different stages of application, as well as organizational, threat modeling ensures effective results.
