A practical threat model for internal tools

The tools we build for ourselves get the least scrutiny and often the widest access. That combination is worth an hour of anyone’s time.

Four questions worth asking

Here is what changed and why it matters in practice.

  • What does this tool have access to?

  • Who can reach it, and from where?

  • What happens if one account is compromised?

  • How would we know?

Measure first. Then change one thing.
