Threat modelling is a systematic process of identifying potential threats and vulnerabilities within a system or application. It involves a meticulous examination of the system’s architecture, data flow, and security requirements to assess potential risks. By proactively identifying and mitigating threats, organisations can significantly reduce the likelihood of successful attacks and their associated financial and reputational consequences.
While Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) offers a robust first line of defence, it’s crucial to recognise its limitations. CSPM excels at continuously monitoring your cloud environment for misconfigurations and vulnerabilities. However, it can’t fully replicate the ingenuity of a skilled attacker. This is where manual penetration testing comes in, as a critical complement to your cloud security strategy.
CNAPP is a powerful tool for continuous security monitoring. However, it does not replace the manual penetration testing.
Identify vulnerabilities (MTTI). Remediate those vulnerabilities (MTTR).Detect a security breach (MTTD). Contain the breach (MTTC). Restore normal operations (MTTRN).
Imagine this: an intruder sneaks into your house, but instead of breaking windows, they cleverly use your spare key. That’s precisely how a shadow workflow operates.
