How often does the Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool update its threat database?

Hi @Melanie Knowles ,

Based on the version release history it appears to be updated at least 3-4 times per year. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security/develop/threat-modeling-tool-releases

Because the tool is a click-to-download, updates are pushed each time users open the tool. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security/develop/threat-modeling-tool-getting-started?source=recommendations

Regarding intelligence sources, the tool is designed so that users can proactively identify their security objectives, identify relevant threats, and identify relevant vulnerabilities and countermeasures. The tool provides guidance based on security best practices. See Threat Modeling Web Applications and Training

The modeling templates are also open source so that improvements can be shared with Microsoft and updates can be merged. https://github.com/Microsoft/threat-modeling-templates
