The Battle for New York: A Case Study of Applied Digital Threat Modeling at the Enterprise Level
summary
Formalized threat modeling using the center-of-gravity framework produces actionable defense plans in about 37 minutes per person and yields measurable changes: 147 mitigating strategies identified, 64% novel, 16 of 25 plans ready for immediate implementation, deployment of 13,000 sensors, and roll-out of multi‑factor authentication. Over 120 days those changes block 541 unique intrusion attempts, prevent hijacking of five privileged accounts, and surface three previously unknown public‑server vulnerabilities.
