ISC2 CISSP Practice Question

During a sprint planning session, a software architect is asked to incorporate security activities into the team's DevSecOps pipeline for a newly designed microservices-based payment application. The architect suggests conducting a structured threat-modeling workshop early in the design phase, involving developers, testers, and product owners. Which outcome BEST describes the primary purpose of performing threat modeling at this point in the software development lifecycle?

  • Identify, prioritize, and mitigate potential security threats before extensive coding begins

  • Develop detailed incident-response runbooks tailored to the anticipated threat landscape

  • Determine likely attackers and document their motivations for later penetration testing

  • Catalog known vulnerabilities in open-source and third-party libraries used by the project
