Enhancing Cloud Security Posture through Threat Modeling and Risk Assessment Migration

Abstract

The migration to cloud computing necessitates a paradigm shift in security practices. Traditional risk assessment methods often struggle to address the dynamic nature and shared responsibility model of the cloud. This paper explores the critical role of threat modeling and risk assessment migration strategies in bolstering cloud security posture. We delve into the limitations of traditional approaches and propose methods for adapting risk assessment to the cloud environment. This includes leveraging cloud-specific threat databases and automated risk assessment tools. Furthermore, the paper emphasizes the integration of threat modeling and risk assessment with DevOps practices to
promote a "DevSecOps" culture.
