Security tooling that respects developers

Most threat modeling tools are either enterprise-locked or stuck in 2016. Threat Forge fills the gap with a modern UI, clean file format, and AI assistance — no procurement cycle required.

Visual data flow diagrams

Drag-and-drop canvas with 44 typed components across 10 categories. Connection handles auto-route between elements. Trust boundaries and text annotations included.

STRIDE threat engine

Built-in rule engine applies Microsoft's STRIDE-per-element methodology. Generates threats automatically based on element types and data flow patterns. Works fully offline.

AI-assisted analysis

Chat with Claude or GPT about your threat model. The AI sees your full architecture and suggests threats, proposes mitigations, or answers security questions. BYOK.

Git-friendly YAML

Human-readable, git-diffable YAML files. No opaque binary formats. Review threat models in PRs, track changes over time, and version your security analysis.

Pre-built templates

Start from six production-quality templates: Cloud Microservices, E-Commerce, Mobile Banking, SaaS Platform, IoT Smart Building, and Healthcare System.

Cross-platform

Runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Built with Tauri v2 and React — native performance with a ~10MB binary. No Electron bloat.

Free and open source. Always.

Threat Forge is released under the Apache 2.0 license. No freemium upsells, no telemetry, no enterprise-only features. The full application — including STRIDE engine, AI integration, and all templates — is available to everyone. Security tooling should be accessible, not gated behind a sales call.
