Abstract
The following subject matter provides for modeling an application's potential security threats at a logical component level early in the design phase of the application. Specifically, in a computer system, multiple model components are defined to represent respective logical elements of the application. Each model component includes a corresponding set of security threats that could potentially be of import not only to the component but also to the application as a whole in its physical implementation. The model components are interconnected to form a logical model of the application. One or more potential security threats are then analyzed in terms of the model components in the logical model.
