In ThreatModeler, there are five Threat risk levels. Can you describe those five risk levels?F.A.Q.

ThreatModeler does not provide a specific definition for risk levels. It depends on the organization’s requirements and policies. Our in-house TRC defines the risk based on the description of the threat from CAPEC, OWASP, and WASC. If you feel a risk rating is not desired, you can change the rating for it.

What is a Template in ThreatModeler?F.A.Q.

Templates are complete or partial threat models saved from the diagramming canvas into the template’s library. The saved templates can include various components, communication protocol links, component properties, and groups. Templates are not active threat models, nor do they create and store templates that consume ThreatModeler licenses. Instead, one can use the templates function as reusable building blocks from which new threat models can be made, or existing threat models can be modified quickly.Note: Template or multiple template imports in a threat model is available only for unlimited license customers.

What is the best practice for creating custom content?F.A.Q.

The best practice for custom content creation occurs in your library. In ThreatModeler v5.4.1, all the out-of-the-box libraries - AWS, Azure, GCP, and ThreatModeler - are accessible to all the user authorizations except superuser, as the content updater tool from ThreatModeler will affect all the changes by the users in these four libraries.We recommend you copy the threat framework entities that require customization to your default library. You are able to add/modify the threat intelligence to any threat framework entity in your library without having an effect on future ThreatModeler content updates.
