Use the spreadsheet to review all the features. For each feature, follow this flow Key business people explain the current feature from a business point of view. Penetration testers propose and explain a set of attacks that they can perform against the feature. For each attack proposed: Appsec proposes a countermeasure and a preferred set up location (infrastructure, network, code, design...). Technical people give feedback about the feasibility of the proposed countermeasure. Penetration testers use the CVSS v3 (or other standard) calculator to determine a risk rating. (ex: CVSS V3 calculator) Risk leaders should accept or modify the risk rating to determine the final risk score which accurately reflects the real business impact for the company. Business, Risk, and Technical leaders should find a consensus and filter the list of abuses for the current feature to keep the ones that must be addressed, and then flag them accordingly in the _ABUSE CASES_ sheet (if risk is accepted then add a comment to explain why). Pass to next feature... If the presence of penetration testers is not possible then you can use the following references to identify the applicable attacks on your features OWASP Automated Threats to Web Applications OWASP Testing Guide OWASP Mobile Testing Guide Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC) Important note on attacks and countermeasure knowledge base(s) Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```text With time and experience across projects, you will obtain your own dictionary of attacks and countermeasures that are applicable to the kind of application in your business domain. This dictionary will speed up the future workshops in a significant way. To promote the creation of this dictionary, you can, at the end of the project/sprint, gather the list of attacks and countermeasures identified in a central location (wiki, database, file...) that will be used during the next workshop in combination with input from penetration testers. ``` Attribution: Adapted from OWASP Cheat Sheet Series under CC-BY-SA-4.0.
