How traffic flows and where it is exposed
Before you write a firewall rule, you need a picture of the traffic you are protecting. Threat modelling turns a network diagram into a list of risks you can act on.
Draw what exists
Sketch devices, connections and where data leaves the network. Gaps in the diagram are often the first findings.
Ask what could go wrong
For each connection, ask who could misuse it and what they would gain.
Rank and decide
Prioritise risks by likelihood and impact, then choose controls such as rules, segmentation or monitoring.
Common pitfall
Starting with tools before understanding the traffic.
Action step
Draw your home or office network and list three ways it could be misused.
