Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

The high costs of successful cybersecurity attacks require professionals like you to master the fundamentals of threat modeling so you can thwart increasingly sophisticated cyber threats and attacks. Mastering these skills lets you identify and assess potential risks and vulnerabilities to immediately improve your threat model and defensive posture by better protecting your assets and reputation. You will learn how to choose the correct framework for your organization, model potential threats with various purpose-built tools, and use cutting-edge methodologies to improve your defensive posture. This knowledge will empower you to minimize the chance and impact of successful cyber-attacks by leaving no stone unturned when developing your threat intelligence model. 

The course will begin with an introduction to threat modeling followed by a deep dive into the STRIDE, DREAD, and P.A.S.T.A. methodologies and their implementation.

Building on that knowledge, you will learn to use the Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool and gain exposure to other major threat modeling tools. You will then learn to incorporate these tools and techniques into your DevSecOps and Agile environments and observe potential use cases.
