Abstract

This article focuses on tools that can be used to model and analyze risks in a cloud computing environment. The article discusses free open source software: OWASP Threat Dragon, CAIRIS, Mozilla Seasponge and commercial with closed code: Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool, RiskWatch, vsRisk, as well as an analysis of its advantages and disadvantages. The article proposes requirements for modeling programs and risk analysis in the cloud computing environment. Based on the compliance assessment, a comparison was made of existing software, which resulted in the determination that although the Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool does not fully comply with them, it is currently the best for modeling and analyzing risks in the clouds.
