Describe the most important cyber threat scenarios for the business and map them to critical services, controls, detection, and response playbooks to improve preparedness.

Threat modeling is valuable when it produces shared, decision-ready scenarios that the business can act on (investments, control choices, response plans).

Outcomes

  • Clear set of priority cyber scenarios linked to business impact
  • Better alignment between controls, detection, and response plans
  • More realistic tabletop exercises and readiness assessments
  • Faster decision-making during real incidents (pre-agreed playbooks)

Typical scope

  • Scenario catalog (e.g., ransomware, data theft, supplier compromise)
  • Mapping scenarios to critical services and dependencies
  • Control and detection coverage gaps
  • Response playbooks and escalation criteria

GenAI-enabled execution

Agents can help draft scenario narratives, map scenarios to affected assets and obligations, and prepare tabletop materials—guardrailed by approved taxonomies and human validation of assumptions.
