Abstract

Threat Modeling (TM) has increased its relevance in cybersecurity risk management applied to software development, allowing developers to proactively identify and mitigate threats from various sources. In the present work, we execute a systematic literature research (SLR) on TM applied to cybersecurity. Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes, Context (PICOC) criteria were used to define a research formula that was executed in three relevant digital libraries and was submitted to inclusion and exclusion criteria and a rigorous quality assessment, resulting in 16 papers that answered four research questions, which deeply defined key elements of TM, process steps, TM relation with risk management process existing in ISO 27005 and future perspectives for TM. This contribution supports the understanding of TM and its practical application when considering different existing models into real application development.
