Product History
VAST
The Visual, Agile and Simple Threat (VAST) methodology was developed by ThreatModeler. VAST requires creating two types of models: application threat models and operational threat models. Application threat models use process-flow diagrams, representing the architectural point of view. Operational threat models are created from an attacker point of view based on DFDs. This approach allows for the integration of VAST into the organization's development and DevOps lifecycles. ThreatModeler's methodology has been referenced in surveys and assessments developed by the MITRE Corporation for the Department of Homeland Security.
Software-as-a-Service
In 2021, ThreatModeler launched the latest iterations to their technology. IaC-Assist and CloudModeler. IaC-Assist enables developers to review their Infrastructure-as-Code in real time, while CloudModeler assists organizations in securing their cloud deployments by identifying design flaws or vulnerabilities while planning cloud migrations.
