Episode 12 — Prioritize real-world threat scenarios using sharp, business-first triage
In a world of infinite threats and finite resources, the ability to perform a business-first triage is essential for any security leader. This episode teaches you how to evaluate threat scenarios based on their likelihood and their potential impact on the organization's specific mission. We explore the use of the DREAD or STRIDE models for threat modeling and explain how to apply them in an enterprise context. Examples include prioritizing a scenario involving the theft of Intellectual Property (IP) over a minor Denial of Service (DoS) attack if the IP is the company's primary source of competitive advantage. For the exam, you must demonstrate that you can distinguish between theoretical risks and probable risks to allocate defensive resources efficiently. Troubleshooting this process involves reviewing your triage results with business stakeholders to ensure your technical assessments align with their operational realities.
