Much like choosing a framework, there are an endless number of threats that can be applied when performing the cyber threat modeling assessment. As defined by NIST, a threat is “…Any circumstance or event with the potential to adversely impact organizational operations (including mission, functions, image, or reputation), organizational assets, individuals, other organizations…”. Additionally, driving these threats are individuals, groups, organizations, and states that seek to exploit an organization’s dependence on information security and cybersecurity resources.
During this critical phase, we’ll identify all relevant threats, threat sources – and other related threat factors – that have the ability to attack your organization. From growing insider threats to hackers thousands of miles away in hostile nation states, Arlington has developed a large and growing threat matrix, and we’ll use it to assess your current cyber posture.
