OpenStack Threat Modelling

Security is one of the biggest concern for any cloud solutions. Threat modelling takes a proactive view to identify threats within a system. Threat modelling takes a comprehensive look at the system at hand – components, protocols and code - against the existence and capability of an adversary looking for known vulnerabilities. When a threat is identified, it is tallied and reported to the development team. In some cases, the threat analysis team may also include a suggestion to fix the vulnerabilities and related threat.

Ongoing Work

Earlier we have used Google Docs for sharing documents, documents are still shared from Google Docs, but we are focusing to use GIT as a repository containing all docs.
