Threat Modeling: Everything You Need to Know for Web Application Security | by Piyush Kumawat (securitycipher) | Nov, 2023

Web applications are increasingly targeted by cyber attacks, making their security crucial for businesses. Threat modeling can help organisations identify and mitigate potential threats and vulnerabilities. This technique involves understanding potential attacks on the application’s design, code, or infrastructure, then taking preventive actions. Benefits include improved security, reduced costs, better system understanding, and compliance with standards. Tools such as Microsoft’s Threat Modeling Tool and OWASP Threat Dragon can assist in creating models, identifying threats and providing mitigation recommendations.
