The Threat Modeling Tool now inherits the TLS settings of the host operating system and is supported in environments that require TLS 1.2 or later. The tool is available to download as a ClickOnce application. Documentation and full release notes are available in Azure Docs. Threat Dragon is a free, open-source, cross-platform threat modelling application including system diagramming and a threat rule engine to auto-generate threats/mitigations. It is an OWASP Incubator Project. The focus of the project is on great UX, a powerful rule engine and integration with other development lifecycle tools. Following is the list of top 5 threat modeling tools you may keep handy for threat modeling: Microsoft Free SDL Threat Modeling Tool: Tool from Microsoft that makes threat modeling easier for all developers by providing guidance on creating and analyzing threat models. Following diagram displays the SDL threat modeling process.

Overview of the Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool, containing information on getting started with the tool, including the Threat Modeling process. | jegeib | security-develop | 02/16/2017 |
The Threat Modeling Tool is a core element of the Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL). It allows software architects to identify and mitigate potential security issues early, when they are relatively easy and cost-effective to resolve. As a result, it greatly reduces the total cost of development. Also, 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.
The tool enables anyone to:
- Communicate about the security design of their systems
- Analyze those designs for potential security issues using a proven methodology
- Suggest and manage mitigations for security issues
Here are some tooling capabilities and innovations, just to name a few:
- Automation: Guidance and feedback in drawing a model
- STRIDE per Element: Guided analysis of threats and mitigations
- Reporting: Security activities and testing in the verification phase
- Unique Methodology: Enables users to better visualize and understand threats
- Designed for Developers and Centered on Software: many approaches are centered on assets or attackers. We are centered on software. We build on activities that all software developers and architects are familiar with -- such as drawing pictures for their software architecture
- Focused on Design Analysis: The term 'threat modeling' can refer to either a requirements or a design analysis technique. Sometimes, it refers to a complex blend of the two. The Microsoft SDL approach to threat modeling is a focused design analysis technique
