ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
While planning security for a new tele-medicine platform, the lead architect requests a threat-modeling approach that is explicitly risk-centric, walks through seven ordered stages from defining business objectives to selecting countermeasures, and incorporates attack simulation to quantify likelihood. Which methodology best fits these criteria?
Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis (PASTA)
The Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis (PASTA) is a seven-stage, risk-centric threat-modeling methodology. It begins by identifying business objectives and technical scope, then models and simulates plausible attacks to estimate risk, and finally maps security controls to the most significant threats. STRIDE is category-based and asset-centric, CVSS scores known vulnerabilities rather than modeling threats, and Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) is a standards framework for automating vulnerability management-not a threat-modeling process.
