Threat modeling seek to identify, communicate, document, and understand threats and mitigations within the context of protecting the business assets. Part of threat modeling therefore would involve discovering potential security vulnerabilities. Security vulnerabilities are normally identified by performing security vulnerability scans in the target environment (s). 

 Compare and contrast  the process/steps of threat modeling/vulnerability scanning in the following cloud service providers’ environments:

• Microsoft Azure
• Amazon Web Services (AWS)

1. Discuss and compared four (4) requirements necessary to be performed threat modeling in Azure and AWS platforms? 
2. Discuss two common tools use to perform threat modeling in both AWS and Azure cloud platforms
3. Would you need permission to perform threat modeling with your PaaS service provider? If yes, why?
