Abstract:
A system is provided for modeling and analysis of cybersecurity threats may include a data flow diagram (DFD) creator, threat indicator and threat analyzer. The DFD creator may identify elements of an information system, and compose a DFD including nodes and edges representing components and data flows of the information system. The threat indicator may identify a cybersecurity threat to a particular element of the information system, and add a secondary node representing the cybersecurity threat to the DFD to thereby produce a threat-model DFD for the information system. In metadata associated with the nodes, edges and secondary node, the DFD creator and threat indicator may provide structured information including attributes of the components, data flows and cybersecurity threat. And the threat analyzer may perform an analysis of the cybersecurity threat based on the threat-model DFD and metadata associated with the nodes, edges and secondary node thereof.
