The OTM is a 7-stage process, inspired by the application threat modeling methodology, PASTA, that is applied at an organizational level. Much like application threat models, the intent is to have risks proven by various important contexts – business impact, likelihood, and the effectiveness of native countermeasures (or controls) that help reduce inherent risk levels.
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.
