Threat modelling is a process for identifying potential threats to an organization's network security and all the vulnerabilities that could be exploited by those threats. Threat modelling, on the other hand, is a proactive approach to cybersecurity, whereby potential threats are identified and anticipated.

A more concise summary of the difference is Threat Modelling is more theoretical in nature while Threat Analysis requires a technical understanding.

The primary benefit of Threat Modeling is that it helps organizations paint a clear picture of all the cyber that could cripple their security.

The Visual, Agile, and Simple Threat (VAST) model is a security method that assumes the attacker has an unlimited number of ways to attack.
