Through the intuitive analogy of securing a house, the guide clearly distinguishes between vulnerabilities, threats, and attacks. It defines a vulnerability as a inherent weakness, such as a crack in a window, identifies threats as external factors capable of exploitation, and describes an attack as the active misuse of these weaknesses. The content aims to equip readers with the essential terminology and conceptual framework necessary for building effective threat models in a professional technical environment. By breaking down these abstract security principles into relatable scenarios, the material serves as an accessible starting point for developers and engineers looking to enhance their defensive security posture and proactively protect their digital assets from potential exploitation.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":30,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/technology/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/threat-modeling-101-an-introductory-guide/656054/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/threat-modeling-101-an-introductory-guide/656054.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"AfterMidnight","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-10-25",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":81},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What is a vulnerability in the context of threat modeling?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"A vulnerability is a weakness in a system, analogous to a crack in a window of a house, which could potentially be exploited.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"How are threats defined in this guide?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"Threats are external factors or entities, such as stones or bad actors, that have the potential to exploit existing system vulnerabilities.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"What is considered an attack?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"An attack is the active exploitation of a vulnerability, such as throwing a stone through a cracked window, which results in a successful security breach.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},656054,1793005796,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":29,"category_name":30,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":81,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":36,"language":139,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":143,"read_time":144},962090896061,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_9964176cb1d06d4a9deccf72a44ae3dc","Threat  \nModeling 101  \nFrom your friendly neighborhood Nylas Security Team  \nHi!  \nThe basics  \nKey concepts to know before building a threat model  \nBut first…  \nImagine a house…  \nDone?
