6 AI Threat Modeling Tools

We’ve got some AI tools for your perusal, from vibe coding to design-led AI. Take a look at the list we have collated so you can decide which tools will compliment your existing tech stack and processes. 

Clearly AI

Who it’s for: Built for security, privacy, and GRC teams

What it is: Clearly AI replaces manual reviews and spreadsheet chaos with structured, policy-aligned assessments to reduce delays, surface risks earlier, and launch with confidence.

What makes it great: Clearly AI was built by security and privacy engineers who have run reviews at scale, aiming for outputs that align with internal policies and frameworks. It reduces review time dramatically and increases team throughput thanks to scalability and audit-focused dashboards.

Oplane

Who it’s for: Development and security teams 

What it is: Oplane is a cybersecurity platform focused on AI-assisted threat modeling and secure-by-design development.

What makes it great: It aims to automate core parts of the security review process so teams can generate threat models and actionable security requirements quickly, especially as code changes evolve. Oplane uses large language models combined with proprietary analysis to generate threat models for your software based on your repository and descriptions of changes.

Clover

Who it’s for: Mainly product, engineering and security teams 

What it is: Clover Security is a design-led product security platform that uses AI agents to embed security into the earliest stages of software development.

What makes it great: It provides automated security guidance, risk detection, and policy enforcement early in the product lifecycle. It helps embed security into everyday developer workflows rather than relying on late-stage scans or manual reviews.

Backslash

Who it’s for: AppSec and DevSecOps teams 

What it is: Backslash is an application security platform built for AI-driven software, especially where developers use AI coding tools, large language models (LLMs), and new protocols like MCP (Model Context Protocol).

What makes it great: It’s designed to help organizations secure code, dependencies and development workflows proactively rather than relying on legacy scanning tools alone. The platform shows where AI coding agents, IDEs, MCP servers and LLMs are used across developer infrastructure and assesses their security posture.

Dawnguard AI 

Who it’s for: Security, DevOps and Cloud Teams 

What it is: Dawnguard is an AI-driven security architecture platform focused on secure by design for cloud environments. It uses AI/ML engines across the IT lifecycle to detect weaknesses during design, align security intent with enforceable code, and improve resilience at scale.

What makes it great: The platform is built to shift security left — embedding security into a system’s architecture and design phase rather than bolting it on after deployment. It is able to analyze and validate cloud design early, generate production-ready infrastructure as code (IaC), for more secure cloud builds.

Bex AI

Who it’s for: AI threat modeling tool, built for development teams

What it is: Conversational security plugin, by IriusRisk, on the Atlassian Marketplace, delivering real-time secure by-design feedback for Jira users.

What makes it great: The developers writing the code for products and services are talented at what they do, but are not cybersecurity experts. With Bex AI, while they are at the inception of their code, application or idea, they can receive real-time feedback and security considerations with Secure by Design principles. will give you recommended actions to take to improve the security of your software, by design. Simply tag @BexAI in your Jira Epic or Task, to get real-time and natural interactions on how your product or service can be improved to consider wider security issues.
