Threat Modeling for Cloud Native

In this chapter, we will be exploring a critical aspect of cloud-native security—threat modeling. Threat modeling is a systematic approach to identifying, quantifying, and prioritizing potential threats and vulnerabilities in a cloud-native environment.

So far in this book, we have covered the foundations of cloud-native, application security, system security, and developing an application security culture. In this chapter, we will bring all these concepts together and apply them to the process of threat modeling. You will learn how to identify potential threats, assess their impact and likelihood, and develop mitigation strategies to protect your cloud-native environment.

By the end of this chapter, you will have a comprehensive understanding of how to perform threat modeling for cloud-native environments and how to use the information gathered to make informed decisions about security risks.

In this chapter, we’re going to be...
