The 2026 Threat Modeling
BUYER’S GUIDE
Questions to ask before buying or renewing a threat modeling solution
Need help evaluating threat modeling vendors?
The Challenge: Organizations are designing and delivering increasingly complex systems across applications, cloud infrastructure, and AI-enabled technologies. As these environments evolve, teams need ways to understand architectural risk early and keep security aligned with rapid change. Threat modeling is widely recognized as a valuable practice, but approaches vary significantly in how well they scale across modern architectures, distributed teams, and fast-moving development workflows.
The Solution: Threat modeling brings security into system design—before code is written, infrastructure is deployed, or AI systems are put into production. Modern threat modeling supports applications, cloud, infrastructure, and AI together, providing an architecture-aware foundation for identifying risk, selecting appropriate security controls, and enabling secure-by-design development at scale.
