Cybersecurity Specialization: Threat Modeling

Exclusive - Understand and apply threat modeling techniques to enhance cybersecurity.

Cybersecurity Specialization: Threat Modeling dives into the critical practice of threat modeling, a key component in modern cybersecurity strategies. Participants will learn to identify, analyze, and mitigate potential security threats in complex systems. The course covers various threat modeling frameworks such as STRIDE, PASTA, and VAST, and their application in different contexts, including microservices, containerized architectures, and IoT systems. By integrating threat intelligence and advanced risk assessment techniques, students will gain the skills to develop robust threat models that enhance security operations and DevSecOps pipelines.

Throughout the course, attendees will engage in hands-on exercises using tools like OWASP Threat Dragon and Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool to create and evaluate threat models. They will also explore the role of threat intelligence in dynamic environments and learn to automate threat modeling processes within CI/CD pipelines. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to design and implement effective threat models for various scenarios, ensuring comprehensive security coverage for their organizations.

This course is ideal for professionals looking to deepen their understanding of threat modeling and its practical applications in real-world environments. Join us to enhance your cybersecurity skills and stay ahead of emerging threats.

  • Compare and contrast different threat modeling frameworks like STRIDE, PASTA, and VAST, and their applicability in complex contexts.
  • Analyze and evaluate different threat modeling techniques and tools for modeling microservices and containerized architectures, hybrid, multi-cloud, and edge computing environments, and IoT systems.
  • Summarize and interpret the role of threat intelligence in dynamic environments and the ways to integrate it into threat models and security operations.
  • Create attack trees and threat models for distributed systems using open-source tools like OWASP Threat Dragon and Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool.
  • Adapt multiple frameworks to a sample complex system and develop a threat model for a multi-cloud architecture or IoT ecosystem.
  • Implement advanced risk assessment techniques for a complex system, map threat models to security controls, and develop a threat model for a microservices-based app.
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of different threat modeling tools and techniques to enhance static and dynamic code analysis and tool compatibility and limitations.
  • Analyze and compare the characteristics of different attack chains, such as APTs and ransomware, and develop threat models for specific attack vectors.
  • Assess the strengths and weaknesses of group-based threat modeling activities and provide constructive feedback to peers.
  • Design a threat model for Zero Trust policies, integrate it with SOAR tools, and automate threat modeling in a DevSecOps pipeline.
  • Develop adaptable and reusable threat models in Agile using modular approaches and reusable templates for microservices.
  • Build and align a threat model with a sample application SDLC and create an iterative feedback loop for security improvement.
  • Critique and analyze the success stories and lessons learned from case studies of CI/CD integrations in large organizations.
