Leaders in enterprises that have incorporated threat modeling not only perceived an increase in efficiency and effectiveness of their tools (+15%), but also felt their architectures are more secure (+10%) as a result of discovering defects sooner in the SDLC

Most IT Leaders Have Confidence in their Security Tool Selection
All IT leaders understand the importance of having a resilient system architecture. To that end, they vary on their execution based largely on their perceived priorities and available resources.
