Is your organization using threat intelligence to run threat modeling?

If not, that’s a miss-opportunity. Your organization should establish desktop exercises or an informal cross-functional team to run threat modeling scenarios. This team would do the following four steps: Identify and characterize the systems supporting the organization's mission and objectives as a starting point. Identify the cybersecurity stack capabilities protecting these systems. Identify and select the attack vectors to be included in the model. The most plausible is not every scenario. Analyze the threat model. Any gaps identified should be reported to management as potential vulnerabilities must be addressed. Bonus Point: Map the identified vulnerabilities to the cybersecurity risks to the mission and corporate objectives being reported to the executive leadership or board of directors.
