Business threat modeling

These are dangerous times for a business. Every day brings another threat.

The sub-prime crisis, the crash of world financial markets, the price of oil (going way up and now going down again), an impending crash of the US sub-prime credit card market (like how long can you charge 35% over the top interest rates?), spam, zero-day attacks, identity theft and data loss vulnerabilities do not make life easy for a business of any size.

With one dollar to spend on security, how do you spend it? Before the next meeting with your manager (or shareholders) – I suggest doing a little threat modeling first.

What is Business Threat Modeling?

Business Threat Modeling (TM) is a practical way for executives to assess their security and compliance risk in dollars:

• Identify business threats and vulnerabilities
• Focus on asset management before information and security technology management.
• Quantify risk in dollar terms.
• Prioritize risk mitigation with the right countermeasures.
• Justify investments in security, compliance and risk management to the management board.
