Threat Modelling
Threat Modelling allows organisations to understand exactly where systems fit within the context of an organisation, how these systems affect the overall security posture and the systems attack-surface. Overall, these modelling exercises succeed in improving network security through the identification and combination of security vulnerabilities, business objectives, and defining relevant countermeasures to mitigate threats as part of a kill-chain identification exercise.
The primary output from a threat modelling exercise is the interactive diagram that can be updated and modified over time as threats and systems change. Following this a list of verified and testable assumptions that is bespoke to your organisation and environment. Each given system will also have a prioritised list of threats including both technical vulnerabilities alongside organisational risks.
All these results combined are presented with the actions required to validate and re-validate the findings to allow seamless handover to the internal team. The aim of threat modelling is not to simply provide a static diagram, but to arm your technology and security team with the tools and information needed to continually improve the cybersecurity posture of your organisation.

“We trialed a number of other companies which were technically capable, but SureCloud not only matched them but outperformed them in terms of customer support and user experience.”
Caius Ajiz, Ops Lead, Chelmsford City Council
“We have used SureCloud’s penetration testing, vulnerability management, and social engineering services for our annual PSN IT Health Check recently and have been very impressed with the professionalism of the overall service that we have received. This includes helping us to define the requirements, the on-site work completed by their technical white-hat experts, the technical and management reports, and the prompt responses to any follow-up questions and advice that help us resolve or mitigate any identified vulnerabilities. The results are presented to you using an online platform, which is very easy to use and has all of the information required to help you resolve any identified issues.”
