The VAST
FRAMEWORK

Redefining threat evaluation—at enterprise scale.

Threat modeling, evolved

Conventional threat modeling is often slow, resource-intensive, and provides an incomplete picture of risk profiles. Originally designed without agile development practices in mind, conventional practices struggle to keep pace with modern security needs.

To address these challenges, ThreatModeler developed the Visual, Agile, and Simple Threat (VAST) modeling framework. Its single purpose: build on the strong foundations of conventional threat modeling while transforming it from a rigid and selective process into a sustainable, repeatable, and high-velocity practice.

The ThreatModeler and VAST difference

Scalable

Designed for enterprise-wide scalability, automating processes and integrating seamlessly with Agile environments.

Automated

Leverages automation to eliminate repetitive tasks, reducing the time needed for threat evaluation from hours to minutes.

Integrated

Built with Agile DevOps
principles in mind, supporting integration with tools used in the software development process.

Collaborative

Promotes collaboration among key stakeholders, utilizing diverse skill sets to evaluate threats and prioritize mitigation.

A new foundation for threat modeling

Modern threat modeling is within reach. As a core element of the ThreatModeler platform, VAST makes collaborative, comprehensive, and continuous threat modeling possible without abandoning common practices like STRIDE.
