1. Presented by Mike Sues, Ethical Hack Specialist Threat Modeling

2. 2 Threat Modelling Objectives  To understand  The basics of threat modeling  Where threat modeling fits in the SDLC  Use and construction of attack trees

3. 3 Talk Outline  Threat modeling  SDLC  Attack trees Threat Modelling

4. 4 Motivation  Threat Risk Assessment  Understand threats and risks  Manage costs of mitigation  Minimize the attack surface  Sales  Increased security/privacy concerns  C & A Threat Modelling

5. 5 Historically  Lack of understanding of threats  Security was an add-on  Band-aid solutions  Use of security buzzwords/technology Threat Modelling

6. 6 Threat Modeling  Threat Risk Assessment  Apply appropriate controls  Attack Trees Threat Modelling

7. 7 Goals  Identify,  assets protected by the application  threats to the assets  Develop,  Mitigation strategies Threat Modelling

8. 8 Assets  Data  Application  Configuration  Database records Threat Modelling

9. 9 Assets  Examples  Application  Code  Configuration  User authentication credentials  Business data  User data records  Audit trails Threat Modelling

10. 10 Assets  Value  Classification  Monetary value  Replacement cost  Intangible  Reputation Threat Modelling

11. 11 Threats  Model application and data flows  High-level architectural diagram of application  Model threats to assets  Multiple vectors  Consider,  Asset  Severity  Likelihood  Costs Threat Modelling

12. 12 Threats  Taxonomy  S.T.R.I.D.E  S poofing  T ampering  R epudiation  I nformation disclosure  D enial of service  E levation of privilege Threat Modelling

13. 13 Threats  Spoofing  Replay requests to a database server to gain unauthorized access to data  Tampering  Defacement of a web site  Repudiation  Deleting or modifying audit trail records  Information disclosure  Gaining unauthorized access to data Threat Modelling

14. 14 Threats  Denial of service  Crashing or flooding a service  Elevation of privilege  Hijacking another user’s session with the application to gain access to the user’s data Threat Modelling

15. 15 Threats  Attack trees  Graphically model attack goals & vectors  Root of tree is the overall goal  e.g. Steal passwords  Children are sub-goals  One step or multiple steps  e.g. Collect plaintext passwords or shoulder surf  e.g. Collect password hashes and crack hashes  e.g. Gain privileged access and install keystroke collector and exfiltrate password Threat Modelling

16. 16 Attack Trees Threat Modelling Steal passwords Shoulder surfCollect sessions Parse plaintext password Parse password hash Crack password hash Gain remote access Install keystroke logger Exfiltrate passwords

17. 17 Attack Trees  Node attributes  Cost  Availability of tools  etc  Threat evaluation  Risk Threat Modelling

18. 18 Mitigation  Rank threats  Prioritize  Develop a strategy,  Ignore the risk  Accept the risk  Delegate the risk  Fix the problem Threat Modelling

19. 19 Exercise  HackMe Travel  Identify assets  Identify threats  STRIDE  Build one attack tree Threat Modelling

20. 20 Conclusion  Threat modeling,  Understanding the threat environment  Manage costs of mitigation  Guide to the application secure design principles  Minimize an application’s attack surface Threat Modelling

21. 21 Conclusion  Questions? Threat Modelling
