Threat modeling is a critical part of building high-performing, secure systems. It is responsible for “analyzing representations of a system to highlight concerns about security and privacy characteristics.”1 Creating an effective threat model involves two main steps: system modeling to map out all existing system components and the relationships between them, and threat elicitation to identify areas in the system that could be vulnerable to a security issue.
