This is about Threat Modeler when conducting risk assessments.

• What did you learn about threat modeling by examining the features of Threat Modeler?
• Should software like Threat Modeler be used exclusively, or in addition to other threat modeling techniques?

Answer 1

Answer)
Threat modeling process deals with the detection of the potential threats and the vulnerabilities will have to be identified and also prioritized using threat modeling. The IT-based threat modeling is the process in which the IS or business handles and detects the threats int eh real life and thus using this process the preemptive actions can be taken against the threats and for avoiding the possible risks and incidents which can hamper the normal features and working capacity of a system or business.

Thus the Threat Modeler software is used to model the infrastructure and environment in the view of the vulnerabilities and potential entry points which are the reasons for the cyberattacks on the systems. Thus using the features of Threat Modeler and using threat modeling we can reduce the cyber risks which are used to contribute and also proactively mitigate the threat which occurs and thus handling the threat and be prepared for them before they actually occur.

Softwares such as Threat Modeler can be used exclusively when there are no other options for modeling or handling risks available. But when the threat modelers are used in addition to the other threat modeling techniques we can use that combination to achieve a superior threat modeling technique which is better than a single threat modeler working solo. As threat modeling is to be applied through several phases of the software development projects too, thus having only one threat modeler is not a good idea, thus it works best when the Threat Modeler is used in addition to the other threat modeling techniques.
