Fundamentals of Secure Software - Prepping for Microsoft Threat Model Tool

The video tutorial covers threat modeling using the Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool. It begins with an introduction to threat modeling, emphasizing the importance of defining the system model, identifying threats, and validating the model's accuracy. The tutorial then explains how to create a detailed system diagram, highlighting the need to focus on relevant components and scope. It introduces the STRIDE framework for analyzing threats, which includes spoofing, tampering, repudiation, information disclosure, denial of service, and elevation of privileges. The video concludes with a summary and a transition to a demonstration.

What is the first step in threat modeling using the Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool?

• Creating a detailed diagram

• Validating the model's accuracy

• Defining the system model

• Addressing the threats

Why is it important to decompose the application in threat modeling?

• To validate the model's accuracy

• To include all possible threats

• To understand the scope and components

• To create a complex diagram

What is the purpose of scoping small in threat modeling?

• To validate the model's accuracy

• To create a complex diagram

• To concentrate on a small part of the system

• To include all components

What should a threat model diagram ideally include?

• Only the main application server

• All possible threats

• Components, data stores, data flows, and trust boundaries

• Only external entities

What does the STRIDE framework stand for in threat modeling?

• Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, Elevation of Privileges

• Security, Trust, Risk, Information, Data, Encryption

• System, Threat, Risk, Information, Data, Evaluation

• Spoofing, Trust, Repudiation, Information, Data, Elevation
