A security architect at a financial technology company is conducting a methodology-based review of a new mobile payment application to systematically identify potential security threats. Which approach would be most appropriate for this activity?
Root Cause Determination
Quantitative Schedule Risk Analysis
Process Hazard Analysis
Structured Threat Analysis
The Structured Threat Analysis method is an effective approach for threat modeling that provides a systematic framework to identify and categorize potential security threats in applications and systems. This methodology guides security professionals through a structured process of examining the application architecture, identifying assets, recognizing potential threats, and analyzing security controls, which allows for comprehensive threat identification across the entire attack surface.
The other options are not appropriate for threat modeling. Quantitative Schedule Risk Analysis focuses on project management time risks rather than security threats. Process Hazard Analysis is used primarily in industrial settings to identify safety hazards rather than cybersecurity threats. Root Cause Determination is a reactive approach used after incidents occur, not a proactive threat identification methodology.
