Threat Modeling 4B

Threat modeling a a type of detective that helps pickup when their are threats being made to a computer software system or infrastructure. Threat modeling is used to pick up any types of threat agents that may be detected virtually. There are many regulation requirements that need to be met with threat modeling such as risk assessment, threat mapping, threat intelligence and even asset identification. As a risk management and Insurance major, this corresponds to what I am studying because risk assessment is critical when it comes to mitigating loss exposures and in this instance, cyber risk is a major risk in itself and also comes with a lot of associated risks. Data protection and cyber security need to be regulated especially since a lot of information from individuals is absorbed through those platforms. Cyber security as well is extremely risky and their are many risks that correspond with cyber. Therefore  regulations are placed on the following subjects to help mitigate the risk exposures associated with both aspects. Ransomware is basically when a cyber network is attacked by being hacked, and hospitals tend to become a primary target in this type of risk. This is primarily because hospitals host a multitude of patients that have to turn over personal information such as their medical information, SSN, insurance info and then some which many hackers see as a attribute to their daily lives in helping them hack people’s information. Hospitals become a primary target since the patients have to turn over this personal information before being seen by the doctor or nurses. this makes it easier for attackers to target hospitals since they host such a multitude of potential cyber victims as patients. Some ways to protect yourself online is to just not engage in social media or unfamiliar platforms. Apart from that, one can choose to not engage in cyber activity or using platforms that need to obtain personal information prior to usage. Therefore if I was not born in such a internet evolving generation, I would have been more guarded about my internet usage because I have been a victim of being hacked through the internet whether it was on my social media or on a job seeking platform, both have happened to me and have caused discrepancies in my life.
