As generative AI models become increasingly integrated into business applications, it’s crucial to evaluate the potential security risks they introduce.
Threat modeling is a structured approach to identifying, understanding, addressing, and communicating the security risks in a given system or application.
This blog post covers a practical approach for threat modeling a generative AI workload and assumes you know the basics of threat modeling.
By starting from comprehensive system documentation, you can streamline the threat modeling process and focus on identifying potential threats and vulnerabilities.
Identify possible threats to your application using context and information gathered and explore control measures that would be appropriate to prevent risk.
Validating threats and the effectiveness of the process periodically is especially important when adopting new technologies.

Threat modeling helps organizations to maintain a high security bar as they adopt generative AI technologies while maintaining the security and privacy of their systems and data.
This post revisits the key steps for conducting effective threat modeling on generative AI workloads along with additional best practices and examples.
Throughout the post, specific examples are shown that were created using the AWS Threat Composer tool, an open-source tool to document your threat model, available at no additional cost.
