Challenge

The impact of weaknesses and risks in IT and safety systems

As systems and processes grow in complexity, cyberattacks, fraud, and safety risks increase. Without structured threat modeling, there’s no solid basis for effective countermeasures.

  • Lack of transparency: Without clear visualization, true points of attack remain hidden.
  • High analysis effort: Threat and risk analysis without software support is time-consuming, error-prone, and hard to reproduce.
  • Missing standards compliance: Requirements from standards like ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434, and DO-356/ED-203 are not applied consistently.
  • Late response: Vulnerabilities are often detected only after an incident.
  • Unclear priorities: It’s hard to rank critical threats and impacts, so resources aren’t allocated effectively.

Without a powerful tool for threat analysis, you risk security gaps, higher costs, reputational damage, and loss of trust.

Solution

How to identify attack scenarios and assess risks systematically

With our Attack Tree software, you gain clarity on potential attack paths, their likelihood, and their impact - so you can build targeted defense strategies.

  • Visual attack-tree analysis: Attack paths make risks intuitive and easy to explain.
  • Consequence-driven scoring: Model the impact of successful attacks and pinpoint the most critical weaknesses.
  • Integrated threat analysis: Standards-compliant risk assessments per ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434, SAE J3061, and more.
  • Simulate countermeasures: Use Mitigation Trees to illustrate the effectiveness of defenses.
  • Efficient collaboration: Integrations with requirements tools such as Jama Connect® enable seamless workflows.
  • Stronger security posture: Make better decisions and protect your systems sustainably.

Our Attack Tree solution gives you a clear overview and a practical path to implementing your security strategy.
