Saleem Yousaf on Why Threat Modelling Is Still Missing from Most Cloud Projects

 Many cloud projects still proceed without proper threat modelling.

Security reviews often focus heavily on controls while neglecting:

• attack paths

• trust boundaries

• abuse scenarios

• insider threats

Threat modelling should occur:

• early in design

• during architecture reviews

• before production deployment

Frameworks such as STRIDE remain highly effective because they force teams to think like attackers.

Threat modelling is not paperwork.

It is a design discipline.
