Threat modeling is one of the most critical — and most time-consuming — activities in the security lifecycle. Identifying risks, mapping attack surfaces, and reasoning through potential exploits requires deep expertise, structured methodologies, and substantial mental effort. What if you could accelerate the initial modeling phase and catch blind spots you might have missed?
That’s exactly what ThreatModelingGPT is designed to do. It’s a free, public Custom GPT built on OpenAI that applies industry-standard threat modeling frameworks to help you identify potential risks, analyze attack surfaces, and suggest mitigation strategies — all through a conversational interface.
What ThreatModelingGPT Does
ThreatModelingGPT is built with multiple proven threat modeling methodologies, allowing you to analyze systems through different security lenses:
STRIDE
Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, Elevation of Privilege
PASTA
Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis — risk-centric methodology
LINDDUN
Privacy threat modeling framework for identifying data protection risks
MAESTRO
AI/ML-specific threat modeling for machine learning systems
Whether you’re analyzing a cloud microservice, a machine learning pipeline, or an enterprise authentication system, ThreatModelingGPT can apply the right framework to surface risks specific to your architecture.
Domains Covered
Software & Systems
Web apps, APIs, microservices, databases, authentication flows
Cloud Infrastructure
AWS, Azure, GCP deployments, Kubernetes, serverless architectures
AI/ML Models
LLM applications, RAG systems, ML pipelines, inference endpoints
Enterprise Architecture
SSO systems, identity providers, data platforms, CI/CD pipelines
Not a Replacement, But a Force Multiplier
ThreatModelingGPT is not here to replace security engineers. Threat modeling requires deep context, business knowledge, and the intuition that comes from years of experience. What this tool does is:
- >Speed up the initial phase — Get a structured starting point rather than staring at a blank page
- >Catch blind spots — Surface attack vectors you may not have considered
- >Apply multiple frameworks — Quickly compare STRIDE, PASTA, LINDDUN, or MAESTRO perspectives
- >Educate and train — Help junior engineers learn threat modeling patterns
Think of it as a smart assistant that helps you think through threat scenarios more systematically and efficiently.
How to Use It
Simply describe your system or component, and ThreatModelingGPT will analyze it through the lens of established threat modeling frameworks. Here are some example prompts:
You can specify which methodology you want to use, or let ThreatModelingGPT recommend the most appropriate framework based on your system type.
