Threat Modeling as Code

Defining system models and threat rules in code or structured files stored with the application, so threat models are versioned and generated automatically.

Definition

Tools such as OWASP pytm and Threagile describe components, data flows and trust boundaries in Python or YAML and produce diagrams and threat reports. This fits DevSecOps by keeping threat models current with architectural changes and reviewable in pull requests.

Example

A pull request that adds a new data flow to the Threagile YAML automatically generates new threats for review.

Exam tip

Supports continuous threat modeling in CI/CD.
