Why Automated Threat Mapping Matters
Traditional threat modeling takes days or weeks because teams must manually:- Interpret architecture diagrams
- Review API collections
- Identify trust boundaries
- Map attack vectors
- Document threats
Auto-detects components, data flows, trust boundaries, and interaction surfaces
Generates relevant threats for each component or endpoint
Provides a visual threat topology to improve developer understanding
Ensures consistency across all threat modeling projects
How Snapsec Generates a Threat Map
1
Upload a Diagram or API Collection
Start by adding a system diagram, sequence diagram, OpenAPI/Swagger spec, or Postman collection.
2
Parse Components & Data Flows
Snapsec analyzes services, endpoints, trust boundaries, data stores, roles, and connections.
3
Generate Threat Candidates
Using AI-powered models, Snapsec identifies threats aligned with STRIDE, OWASP API Top 10, and CWE.
4
Render the Visual Threat Map
A complete threat graph is produced showing nodes (assets) and edges (attack paths), linked to real threats.
What Problems This Solves
Missing Threat Coverage
Eliminates human oversight by ensuring every component and data flow is analyzed.
Slow Threat Modeling
Reduce modeling time from days to minutes with automated mapping.
Inconsistent Analysis
Standardize threat generation across teams and applications.
Key Benefits for Your Security Team
Consistent Threat Models
Every project follows the same structured, automated threat generation logic.
Developer-Friendly Visuals
Visual threat paths make it easier for engineers to understand risk.
Immediate Threat Coverage
Snapsec produces threats instantly after parsing architecture and API definitions.
Deep Integration
Works with diagrams, Swagger files, Postman collections, and service metadata.
Example Outputs
Threat paths showing how a compromised microservice can escalate into sensitive data access.
Threats mapped to endpoints lacking authentication or input validation.
Identified weak trust boundaries between public and internal components.
What Happens After Mapping
1
Review Threats
All generated threats appear in the Threat Review Console with severity, references, and mitigation steps.
2
Assign Owners
Each threat is assigned to relevant engineering or security teams for triage.
3
Integrate With Projects
Threats are synced automatically to the associated threat modeling project.
4
Track Lifecycles
Threats move through Pending → Acknowledged → In Progress → Fixed → Fix Verified.
