ATOM Cyber Threat Modeller

ATOM Cyber Threat Modeller is designed as an asset-centric, industry-specific tool for cyber threat modeling, tailored to assist organizations in identifying and securing their critical technology assets. Its core function revolves around evaluating business-critical systems, identifying potential threats, and offering threat mitigation strategies. ATOM operates using a structured approach that involves analyzing the assets, understanding how they interact with external and internal systems, and mapping these to potential threats from industry-specific attack vectors. For example, in the financial sector, assets like trading platforms and online banking systems can be modeled for vulnerabilities such as phishing or ransomware attacks. ATOM not only identifies these risks but also helps design mitigation strategies using frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK and NIST 800-53.

Main Functions of ATOM Cyber Threat Modeller

  • Asset Analysis

    Example Example

    A financial institution provides its asset list, including trading platforms and customer databases. ATOM identifies that customer databases are highly vulnerable to phishing attacks.

    Example Scenario

    In this scenario, ATOM analyzes the financial institution's customer database, cross-references it with common attack vectors (e.g., phishing or malware), and offers guidance on encryption and employee training as preventive measures.

  • Threat Actor Mapping

    Example Example

    In a healthcare scenario, ATOM maps threat actors like ransomware groups targeting electronic health records (EHRs) through phishing or outdated medical devices.

    Example Scenario

    For a hospital using EHRs, ATOM identifies common ransomware groups and tactics (e.g., malware injection into outdated medical devices) and provides mitigation steps like multi-factor authentication and patch management.

  • Mitigation Strategies

    Example Example

    A manufacturing company using industrial control systems (ICS) receives mitigation recommendations like network segmentation and intrusion detection systems (IDS).

    Example Scenario

    ATOM identifies that the manufacturing company's ICS is vulnerable to outdated firmware and weak segmentation. Mitigations include IDS and patch management using NIST 800-53 recommendations.

Ideal Users of ATOM Cyber Threat Modeller

  • Financial Institutions

    Banks, trading firms, and financial service providers benefit from ATOM's ability to assess vulnerabilities in online banking, customer data systems, and trading platforms. ATOM offers tailored threat modeling that addresses common financial sector risks, such as insider threats, phishing, and data breaches.
