Description: A threat model is a structured representation of all the information affecting the security of a system, helping to identify potential vulnerabilities. In the context of technology security, this model becomes an essential tool for understanding the risks associated with the interconnection of systems and devices. Threat models allow designers and developers to anticipate possible attacks and weaknesses in the infrastructure, facilitating the implementation of appropriate security measures. These models typically include an assessment of the assets to be protected, the threats that could compromise those assets, the vulnerabilities that could be exploited, and the countermeasures that can be applied. By providing a clear framework for risk analysis, threat models help prioritize security actions and optimize resources allocated to the protection of systems. In an environment where devices are constantly connected and communicating with each other, the importance of a systematic approach to identifying and mitigating threats becomes crucial to ensuring the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of the data and services offered by these technology systems.
