Simple threat model for web app
About this example
Threat modeling is a pivotal security technique in application development. This example provides:
- Flow of sensitive data: Shows how user data traverses the system.
- Potential vulnerabilities: Identifies where data might be exposed.
- Security mechanisms: Highlights areas where encryption and admin tools are applied.
- Admin/User differentiation: Differentiates between user access and admin access points.
When to use
- Initial security planning: When outlining the security measures for a new web application.
- Security training: To educate new team members on security best practices.
- Security assessment: As a checklist during security audits to ensure no critical points are unprotected.
How to use
- Start editing: Duplicate example file and double click on the diagram.
- Customize diagram: Add/modify nodes, groups, relationships using Eraser’s simple diagram-as-code syntax. Use icons where possible to enhance understanding.
- Customize layout: Drag elements on the diagram directly on the canvas to manipulate layout.
- Collect feedback: Share file with collaborators and encourage them to use the comments feature for feedback.
