Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Threat modeling is a critical cybersecurity practice for identifying, assessing, and mitigating security risks before they become costly incidents. Modern tools and frameworks such as Threat Dragon, STRIDE, MITRE ATT&CK, PASTA, NIST CSF, and DREAD help security teams understand attack surfaces, prioritize risks, and design more resilient systems. This course begins with the modern threat landscape and compares major threat modeling frameworks before moving into lab setup, data flow diagrams, trust boundaries, asset classification, and DREAD-based risk assessment. It then covers cloud and supply chain attack surfaces, DevSecOps, CI/CD security, attack trees, CVSS, Kubernetes, serverless and microservices security, validation with CALDERA and Atomic Red Team, threat intelligence, governance, FAIR quantification, AI and LLM threats, Zero Trust, OT/ICS, and advanced APT and nation-state scenarios. By completing this course, you will be able to perform practical threat modeling, assess risks, validate defenses, communicate findings, and develop a structured cybersecurity roadmap.

What You Will Learn

  • Build complete Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs) with trust boundaries for real-world web, cloud, and microservices architectures using OWASP Threat Dragon and pytm
  • Apply the full STRIDE framework to identify Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, and Elevation of Privilege threats acro
  • Score and prioritise threats using DREAD and CVSS v3.1, build a risk register, and present a one-page executive risk dashboard to non-technical stakeholders
  • Translate cyber risk into dollar figures using the FAIR model — calculate Annualised Loss Expectancy (ALE) and justify security budgets with board-ready ROI ana
  • Threat model cloud-native architectures on AWS including IAM roles, S3, Lambda, and Kubernetes clusters — and validate findings with Prowler and ATT&CK Navigato
  • Integrate threat modeling into CI/CD pipelines using pytm and GitHub Actions so every code merge automatically checks for new unmitigated threats
  • every code merge automatically checks for new unmitigated threats Run live adversary simulations with MITRE CALDERA and Atomic Red Team to validate whether your threat model's mitigations actually hold up against real attack
  • Threat model AI and LLM systems using the OWASP LLM Top 10 — including prompt injection, training data poisoning, and insecure output handling in RAG pipelines
  • Generate Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) with Syft, scan for CVEs with Grype, and automatically push findings into a GRC platform via API — eliminating manu
  • Map threat model outputs directly to ISO 27001, NIST CSF 2.0, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and GDPR controls — using a single TM workflow as evidence across all frame
