Microsoft threat modeling tool for mac os

The Threat Modeling Tool is a core element of the Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL). It allows software architects to identify and mitigate potential security issues early, when they are relatively easy and cost-effective to resolve. As a result, it greatly reduces the total cost of development. Also, we designed the tool with non-security experts in mind, making threat modeling easier for all developers by providing clear guidance on creating and analyzing threat models.

A model validation toggle feature was added to the tool's Options menu. Several links in the threat properties were updated. Minor UX changes were made to the tool's home screen. The Threat Modeling Tool now inherits the TLS settings of the host operating system and is supported in environments that require TLS 1.2 or later.

The Threat Modeling Tool helps you answer certain questions, such as the ones below:

How can an attacker change the authentication data?
What is the impact if an attacker can read the user profile data?
What happens if access is denied to the user profile database?

STRIDE model

To better help you formulate these kinds of pointed questions, Microsoft uses the STRIDE model, which categorizes different types of threats and simplifies the overall security conversations.

Category	Description
Spoofing	Involves illegally accessing and then using another user's authentication information, such as username and password
Tampering	Involves the malicious modification of data. Examples include unauthorized changes made to persistent data, such as that held in a database, and the alteration of data as it flows between two computers over an open network, such as the Internet
Repudiation	Associated with users who deny performing an action without other parties having any way to prove otherwise—for example, a user performs an illegal operation in a system that lacks the ability to trace the prohibited operations. Non-Repudiation refers to the ability of a system to counter repudiation threats. For example, a user who purchases an item might have to sign for the item upon receipt. The vendor can then use the signed receipt as evidence that the user did receive the package
Information Disclosure	Involves the exposure of information to individuals who are not supposed to have access to it—for example, the ability of users to read a file that they were not granted access to, or the ability of an intruder to read data in transit between two computers
Denial of Service	Denial of service (DoS) attacks deny service to valid users—for example, by making a Web server temporarily unavailable or unusable. You must protect against certain types of DoS threats simply to improve system availability and reliability
Elevation of Privilege	An unprivileged user gains privileged access and thereby has sufficient access to compromise or destroy the entire system. Elevation of privilege threats include those situations in which an attacker has effectively penetrated all system defenses and become part of the trusted system itself, a dangerous situation indeed

Overview of the Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool, containing information on getting started with the tool, including the Threat Modeling process.	jegeib	security-develop	02/16/2017

The tool enables anyone to:

Communicate about the security design of their systems
Analyze those designs for potential security issues using a proven methodology
Suggest and manage mitigations for security issues

Here are some tooling capabilities and innovations, just to name a few:

Automation: Guidance and feedback in drawing a model
STRIDE per Element: Guided analysis of threats and mitigations
Reporting: Security activities and testing in the verification phase
Unique Methodology: Enables users to better visualize and understand threats
Designed for Developers and Centered on Software: many approaches are centered on assets or attackers. We are centered on software. We build on activities that all software developers and architects are familiar with -- such as drawing pictures for their software architecture
Focused on Design Analysis: The term 'threat modeling' can refer to either a requirements or a design analysis technique. Sometimes, it refers to a complex blend of the two. The Microsoft SDL approach to threat modeling is a focused design analysis technique
