Quick start

Select automatic threats in [[Options / Threats]]


This section explains the behaviour for manual mode. If it is automatic, most options are disabled since PILAR automatically applies the standard values from the TSV file.

NOTE. If [[Options / Threats]] are set to automatic, then some buttons are disabled:

  • apply and remove
  • undo / redo
  • cancel and close


Let us identify which threats are possible for each asset.
