Threat modeling huwa proċess strutturato għall-identifikazzjoni ta' security threats potenzjali għal sistema u ppjanijar ta' difes — infakkru sistematikament dwar dak li jista' jmur ħażin, min jista' jaħtaċ, u kif. Hija approċċ proattiv għas-sigurtà, magħmul waqt id-disinn.
Dak li threat modeling huwa
Threat modeling = systematically analyzing a system to find SECURITY THREATS and decide
how to mitigate them — BEFORE building (or as a review):
→ understand the system (data flows, components, trust boundaries, assets)
→ identify THREATS (what could an attacker do? where are the weak points?)
→ assess and prioritize risks; plan MITIGATIONS
→ proactive security: design defenses by thinking like an attacker, early.
