About Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool
Threat modeling is a core element of the Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL). It’s an engineering technique you can use to help you identify threats, attacks, vulnerabilities, and countermeasures that could affect your application. You can use threat modeling to shape your application's design, meet your company's security objectives, and reduce risk. The Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool makes threat modeling easier for all developers through a standard notation for visualizing system components, data flows, and security boundaries. It also helps threat modelers identify classes of threats they should consider based on the structure of their software design. We designed the tool with non-security experts in mind, making threat modeling easier for all developers by providing clear guidance on creating and analyzing threat models.

Fork is a SaaS threat modeling platform that empowers security and product teams to perform continuous, risk-centric application threat assessments using the proven PASTA (Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis) methodology, helping them identify the most likely and impactful risks in under two hours and align security with business priorities. It combines industry-focused threat libraries with real-time vulnerability data and threat intelligence to quantify residual risk accurately, support business impact analysis, and enforce quality gates throughout the threat modeling process. Fork provides a unified security insights dashboard that correlates threats with your application’s attack surface and integrates trusted frameworks and taxonomies such as MITRE, OWASP, CWE, CVE (with EPSS), CAPEC, ATT&CK, D3FEND, and ASVS to drive targeted mitigations and actionable outcomes.
