The Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool makes threat modeling easier for all developers through a standard notation for visualizing system components, data flows, and security boundaries. It also helps threat modelers identify classes of threats they should consider based on the structure of their software design. 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.
The Threat Modeling Tool enables any developer or software architect 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.
