Automated Security Testing vs Threat Modeling
Developers should learn and implement automated security testing to proactively identify and fix security vulnerabilities early in development, reducing the risk of breaches and compliance issues meets developers should learn and use threat modeling to build secure software by design, reducing the risk of costly security breaches and compliance issues. Here's our take.
Automated Security Testing
Developers should learn and implement automated security testing to proactively identify and fix security vulnerabilities early in development, reducing the risk of breaches and compliance issues
Automated Security Testing
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and implement automated security testing to proactively identify and fix security vulnerabilities early in development, reducing the risk of breaches and compliance issues
Pros
- +It is essential for modern DevOps/DevSecOps practices, enabling continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines to include security checks automatically
- +Related to: devsecops, penetration-testing
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Threat Modeling
Developers should learn and use threat modeling to build secure software by design, reducing the risk of costly security breaches and compliance issues
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable in high-stakes environments like finance, healthcare, or critical infrastructure, where data protection is paramount
- +Related to: security-engineering, risk-assessment
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Automated Security Testing if: You want it is essential for modern devops/devsecops practices, enabling continuous integration/continuous deployment (ci/cd) pipelines to include security checks automatically and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Threat Modeling if: You prioritize it is particularly valuable in high-stakes environments like finance, healthcare, or critical infrastructure, where data protection is paramount over what Automated Security Testing offers.
