Toreon Launches Threat Modeling Certification Program with IriusRisk

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

SUMMARY

  • AI breaks “classic” secure-by-design: risks keep shifting after deployment due to updates, reuse, and unpredictable behavior.

  • The problem is control, not detection: a threat modeling report often leads to fragmented follow-up and unclear ownership.

  • Secure-by-design for AI must be continuous: sustained accountability, tracking, and visibility into residual risk across the full lifecycle.

  • AI-rich companies hit the wall first: scale, key-person risk, and audit pressure make one-off reviews unsustainable.

  • Toreon makes it actionable with AI threat modeling: we pinpoint AI-specific vulnerabilities as the starting point for focused mitigation and provable compliance.
