PASTA (Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis)

PASTA (Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis) is a structured method used by cybersecurity professionals to identify, understand, and evaluate potential cyber threats to an organization. It involves multiple steps, including understanding the organization's assets, potential attackers, and attack techniques. By simulating realistic attack scenarios, PASTA helps predict vulnerabilities, assess risks, and develop effective security strategies. Essentially, it’s a systematic approach to anticipate and defend against cyber threats before they happen, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of security weaknesses and improving overall cybersecurity resilience.
