These frameworks and methodologies are designed to help organizations better understand their security posture and identify areas of vulnerability. The goal of threat modeling is to provide an organized approach to understanding the threats that an organization faces and to provide a framework for taking appropriate actions to reduce or eliminate those threats. A threat model typically includes a threat assessment, risk analysis, and a strategy for mitigating any identified threats. The assessment typically includes identifying the assets that need to be protected, the threats posed to those assets, the likelihood of those threats, and the potential impact of those threats. Risk analysis includes understanding the potential risks associated with each threat, the potential cost of those risks, and the potential mitigation strategies available. Finally, the strategy for mitigating threats includes a plan for deploying countermeasures and monitoring the effectiveness of those countermeasures., topic=[{id=97620570512, createdAt=1673040885353, updatedAt=1715624422147, path='vulnerability-management', name='Vulnerability Management Guide: Learn to Protect Your Business', 1='{type=string, value=Vulnerability Management}', 2='{type=string, value= Learn how to identify, assess, and manage security vulnerabilities in your organization with this comprehensive guide to Vulnerability Management.

{tableName=glossary, name=Data Exfiltration, description= Data exfiltration is the unauthorized transfer of data from a secure system or network to an external location or device. It is a malicious activity typically performed by cybercriminals to steal sensitive information, such as financial data, intellectual property, or personally identifiable information (PII). Data exfiltration can occur through a variety of methods, including malware, phishing, and malicious insiders. Malware is malicious software designed to infiltrate a system and steal data, while phishing involves sending fraudulent emails in an attempt to gain access to the target system or network. Malicious insiders are individuals with authorized access to the system or network who use their access to steal data. Data exfiltration can also be caused by misconfigured systems or networks, which allow malicious actors to gain access to the data without authorization. Regardless of the method used, data exfiltration can have serious consequences for organizations, including financial losses, reputational damage, and compliance violations., topic=null, hs_path=data-exfiltration}--
