Identify Threats, Before They Arise
Threat Modeling is the systematic analysis of threats during the design phase. VamiSec helps you identify and mitigate security risks early.
What is Threat Modeling?
Threat Modeling is a structured process for identifying, prioritizing, and mitigating security threats. The earlier threats are identified, the cheaper the remediation – up to 100x cheaper than after go-live.
- Identification of attack vectors during the design phase
- Systematic methods: STRIDE, PASTA, LINDDUN, VAST
- Prioritization by risk and business impact
- Integration into secure development processes (SDLC)
- Foundation for security architecture reviews
- Evidence for ISO 27001, NIS2, and other frameworks
Systematic threat analysis with STRIDE
STRIDE is the most established framework for systematic identification of security threats — developed by Microsoft and used worldwide.
Spoofing
Identity spoofing — an attacker impersonates a legitimate user or service.
Tampering
Data tampering — unauthorized modification of data in transit or at rest.
Repudiation
Repudiation — lack of traceability of actions and transactions.
Information Disclosure
Information disclosure — unintended exposure of confidential data.
Denial of Service
Denial of service — attacks on the availability of systems and services.
Elevation of Privilege
Privilege escalation — an attacker gains higher permissions than intended.
Our Threat Modeling Process
Four structured phases — from architecture assessment to concrete risk treatment.
Modeling
- Analysis of your IT architecture
- Modeling of a data flow diagram
- We review your existing systems, networks, and applications to create a detailed security profile
Threat Identification
- Using the STRIDE model, we identify potential attack vectors and evaluate their impact on your business processes
- Specification and categorization of threats
Risk Assessment
- We conduct a comprehensive risk analysis to evaluate the likelihood and impact of potential security incidents
Risk Treatment Recommendations
- Based on the analysis, we develop clear, actionable measures to harden your IT architecture and defend against future attacks

Why CEOs, CISOs, and CTOs should invest in threat modeling
Threat modeling reduces not only technical risks but also costs, liability issues, and time-to-market. It forms the foundation for informed security decisions at the management level.
Our Threat Modeling Process
Scope & System Understanding
Capturing system architecture, data flows, and trust boundaries through interviews and document analysis.
Threat Identification
Systematic identification of potential threats using STRIDE, attack tree analysis, and expert knowledge.
