Where GenAI intersects with threat modeling: 3 key benefits for AppSec

The report analyzes the realistic ways generative AI can support threat modeling in 2024, highlighting benefits such as accelerating discrete subtasks (like data flow diagrams and threat scenarios), jump-starting ideation, and offering contextual guidance through small assistant-like agents. Experts stress that AI should not automate end-to-end threat modeling or replace human judgment due to explainability and accuracy limitations; instead, it should act as a junior assistant to speed work and broaden perspective while keeping humans in the decision-making loop.
