About ThreatMitigator

Our Mission

Secure infrastructure without compromising privacy.

We believe threat modeling should protect your data, not expose it. That’s why we built ThreatMitigator as a local-first CLI tool that runs entirely on your infrastructure—not a SaaS platform that collects your sensitive security data.


The Problem We’re Solving

Infrastructure as Code Is Everywhere

Modern infrastructure is defined in code. Terraform, CloudFormation, and other IaC tools have revolutionized how we deploy cloud resources. But with great power comes great responsibility—and great risk.

The statistics are sobering:

  • 60% of cloud security breaches stem from misconfigurations
  • 80% of organizations lack automated security scanning for IaC
  • Average time to detect IaC vulnerabilities: 206 days
  • Cost of a cloud security breach: $4.45M on average

Traditional Solutions Create New Problems

Existing security tools ask you to:

  • Upload infrastructure configurations to their SaaS platforms
  • Grant read access to your repositories
  • Send threat models (your security vulnerabilities!) to their servers
  • Trust third-party infrastructure with your most sensitive data

We asked: Why should securing your infrastructure require exposing it?


Our Solution

Local-First Threat Modeling

ThreatMitigator brings enterprise-grade STRIDE threat modeling to Infrastructure as Code—without the SaaS risk.

How we’re different:

Runs locally - All analysis happens on your machines

No data collection - We don’t see your infrastructure or threat models

Transparent - Architecture available for enterprise review

Fast & efficient - Analyze 10,000 resources in under 1 second

Production ready - 90+ threat detection rules out of the box

Multi-cloud - AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, Alibaba Cloud


Our Approach

Security Without Sacrifice

Privacy First We designed ThreatMitigator from the ground up to protect your data. No cloud services, no telemetry, no phone-home.

Built for Speed Written in Rust for maximum performance. Scanning doesn’t slow down your development workflow—it enhances it.

Developer Experience Security tools should help developers, not hinder them. ThreatMitigator integrates seamlessly into existing CI/CD pipelines with minimal configuration.

Open Standards Export results in JSON, YAML, SARIF, or Markdown. No proprietary formats, no vendor lock-in.


Technology

Built with Rust

We chose Rust for ThreatMitigator’s core for three reasons:

Performance - Analyze thousands of resources in milliseconds, not seconds

Safety - Memory safety guarantees eliminate entire classes of bugs

Reliability - Zero-cost abstractions mean fast code without sacrificing correctness

Each component is designed for:

  • Modularity - Use what you need, extend what you want
  • Testability - Comprehensive test coverage
  • Maintainability - Clean architecture, clear interfaces

Our Values

Privacy is Non-Negotiable

Your infrastructure data is sensitive. Your threat models are even more sensitive. We will never compromise your privacy for our business model.

Our commitment:

  • No SaaS platform
  • No data collection
  • No telemetry
  • No tracking

Transparent Architecture

Security tools should be transparent and auditable. We’re committed to providing enterprise customers with comprehensive security documentation and architecture reviews.

Developer Experience Matters

Security tools that slow down development get disabled. We built ThreatMitigator to be fast, intuitive, and helpful—not burdensome.

Our design principles:

  • Fast by default (subsecond scans)
  • Easy to integrate (works with your CI/CD)
  • Clear output (actionable findings)
  • Extensible (custom rules in YAML)

Why “Local-First”?

The Cloud Paradox

Cloud services are powerful, but they’re not always the right answer. For security tools analyzing your security posture, sending data to the cloud creates the exact risk you’re trying to prevent.

Local-first means:

Faster - No network latency, no API rate limits

More reliable - No outages, no downtime, no dependencies

More secure - Your data never leaves your infrastructure

More private - Zero data collection, zero tracking

More affordable - No per-seat pricing, no usage limits
