Overview
Threat Modeling becomes significantly more accurate and efficient when API schemas and request collections flow into the system automatically. Snapsec supports two primary adapter-driven integrations: Swagger Integration (via Adapter)
Postman Integration (via Adapter)
Swagger Integration (Adapter-Driven)
Swagger Integration Overview
- Endpoints
- HTTP methods
- Request/response schemas
- Parameter and authentication details
What the Adapter Does
- Imports OpenAPI/Swagger specs directly into Snapsec
- Discovers all API paths, parameters, and operations
- Syncs updated swagger files without manual re-upload
- Auto-generates threat scenarios for newly detected endpoints
- Flags outdated or missing Swagger definitions
Ideal For
Teams using OpenAPI-first or schema-driven API development.Postman Integration (Adapter-Driven)
Postman Integration Overview
What the Adapter Does
- Syncs Postman collections into the Threat Modeling workspace
- Extracts endpoints, variables, headers, and authentication
- Detects dynamic request flows and chained operations
- Auto-maps threats to each Postman-defined request
- Tracks changes in collections over time
Ideal For
Teams that manage APIs through Postman or use it for internal testing.Key Benefits
Automatic Endpoint Discovery
Import and sync API endpoints directly from Swagger or Postman — no manual entry needed.
Continuous Updates
Adapters refresh endpoints automatically when collections or specs change.
Stronger Threat Coverage
More accurate threat modeling thanks to real, up-to-date API definitions.
Reduced Manual Work
Eliminates the need to rebuild threat models whenever APIs evolve.
How Integration Sync Works
Connect the Adapter
Install the Swagger or Postman adapter from the integrations panel.
Authorize or Upload Spec
Connect Postman via API key or upload/URL-link your Swagger file.
Auto-Import API Endpoints
Endpoints, collections, and schema definitions are imported automatically.
Threat Generation
Snapsec analyzes each endpoint and generates OWASP/CWE-aligned threat scenarios.
Continuous Sync
Whenever the source updates, Snapsec re-syncs and updates the threat model.
Example Use Cases
Schema-Driven Threat Modeling
Generate complete threat models from structured Swagger/OpenAPI definitions.
Runtime-Based Threat Mapping
Build threat models from real-world Postman traffic and request flows.
API Change Detection
Detect added, removed, or modified endpoints through continuous synchronization.
Developer-Synced Security
Keep security models aligned with engineering changes automatically.
Next Steps
