Threat Modeling

Threat modeling is about figuring out who might want to attack you, what information or systems they could target, and how they might try to get in. From there, you come up with ways to block or minimize those risks. The outcome of this process is called a threat model. Since every person or organization faces different risks, each one will have its own unique threat model and its own approach to building it.
