Introduction to Threat Modeling
Ron Reidy, Planned Systems International

Threat Modeling is a process used to identify vulnerabilities in a software system.  It is a cornerstone of risk analysis and a part of the software development life cycle. Threat modeling allows:

  1. Identification of entry
  2. Analysis of system data flow
  3. and exit points
  4. Identification of sensitive data
  5. Implementation of mitigating controls to protect the system and its data

Traditional threat modeling traditionally has been performed at the application and network layers.  This talk will introduce threat modeling principles at the database layer and will present a threat modeling methodology that can be done at the database layer of an application.
