How to Identify a Hazard?
Hazard Identification
To identify hazards in technology security, systematically analyze assets, systems, and data flows for potential threats and vulnerabilities using structured frameworks like threat modeling (e.g., STRIDE) or attack surface mapping. Actively review system architecture, access controls, and third-party integrations for weaknesses such as misconfigurations, insecure code, or unpatched software. Continuously monitor for anomalies and intelligence via security logs, threat feeds, and penetration testing to uncover emerging risks from both internal and external sources.
