- +Related to: penetration-testing, vulnerability-scanning
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
