STRIDE Threat Modeling
Threat modeling that comes with the pentest
Every TurboPentest engagement builds a STRIDE threat model of your app - mapping assets, entry points, and the threats against each - then prioritizes the manual tests that matter and validates the exploitable ones. Analysis and proof, in one run.
See a sample report →What is threat modeling?
Threat modeling is the practice of systematically asking "what could go wrong here?" about an application - identifying its assets, entry points, trust boundaries, and the threats against each - so testing and defenses focus where the real risk lives. Done well, it turns a vague sense of exposure into a prioritized map of what to test first.
Most threat modeling is a manual whiteboard exercise that goes stale the moment the app changes. TurboPentest generates one automatically from your live attack surface as part of every pentest - and then does the part a diagram cannot: proving which threats are actually exploitable with Paladin AI validation.

The STRIDE threat model, category by category
STRIDE classifies threats into six categories, each tied to a security property your app has to uphold. TurboPentest reasons about your surface across all six.
SpoofingAuthentication
Pretending to be another user or system - forged tokens, weak session handling, or missing identity checks.
TamperingIntegrity
Modifying data or code in transit or at rest - unsigned payloads, mutable client-side state, or missing validation.
RepudiationNon-repudiation
Performing actions that cannot be traced - missing audit logs or tamperable records that let an attacker deny what they did.
Information disclosureConfidentiality
Exposing data to the wrong parties - verbose errors, unprotected endpoints, or leaked keys and PII.
Denial of serviceAvailability
Making a system unavailable - unbounded queries, missing rate limits, or resource-exhaustion paths.
Elevation of privilegeAuthorization
Gaining rights you should not have - broken access control, IDOR, or missing authorization on sensitive actions.
How TurboPentest builds your threat model
Map the attack surface
Recon catalogs endpoints, open ports and services, technology stack, auth mechanisms, and input vectors - the raw material of a threat model.
Apply STRIDE
The AI reasons across all six STRIDE categories against your surface to identify where spoofing, tampering, disclosure, and privilege escalation could occur.
Prioritize the manual tests
You get prioritized manual-testing recommendations - the high-risk areas worth a human's attention - rather than an undifferentiated checklist.
Validate the exploitable threats
Paladin AI proves which threats are actually reachable with working proof-of-concept exploits, and it all lands in one report with retest commands.
A threat model is the plan. TurboPentest runs it.
The STRIDE model tells you where to look; the pentest proves what is real. See how the testing works, and what else lands in your report.
Threat modeling FAQ
What is threat modeling?+
Threat modeling is the practice of systematically identifying how an application could be attacked - its assets, entry points, trust boundaries, and the threats against each - so testing and defenses can focus where the real risk is. It answers 'what could go wrong here?' before an attacker asks the same question.
What is the STRIDE threat model?+
STRIDE is a threat-modeling framework, originally from Microsoft, that classifies threats into six categories: Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information disclosure, Denial of service, and Elevation of privilege. Each maps to a security property (authentication, integrity, non-repudiation, confidentiality, availability, and authorization), which makes it a practical checklist for reasoning about where an application is exposed.
Does TurboPentest include threat modeling?+
Yes. Every TurboPentest engagement produces a STRIDE threat model with prioritized manual-testing recommendations, built from the attack surface map the recon phase generates. It ships alongside the findings, PoCs, and the attack surface map in your report.
What is the difference between threat modeling and a penetration test?+
Threat modeling is the analysis of what could go wrong and where to look; a penetration test is the act of proving which of those threats are actually exploitable. TurboPentest does both in one run - it builds the STRIDE threat model, then validates the exploitable threats with working proof-of-concept exploits.
How much does it cost?+
$99 per target, flat. The STRIDE threat model is part of every pentest at no extra charge, alongside the findings, attack surface map, and retest commands.
