12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Even the most robust systems fail silently, until they don’t.
The situation this course is for
You're responsible for systems where failure isn't an option. Yet traditional threat modeling feels too generic, too academic, too slow. You need a method that speaks your language: bounded, deterministic, and built for real-world complexity. Without a tailored approach, vulnerabilities hide in plain sight, masked by assumptions, overlooked in handoffs, or dismissed as edge cases until they’re emergencies.
Who this is for
Technical leaders in maritime, energy, and industrial operations who manage low-tolerance systems and demand precision in threat modeling.
Who this is not for
Generalist security analysts or software-only threat modelers without exposure to physical-digital system interdependency.
What you walk away with
- Map threat surfaces in hybrid physical-digital environments
- Apply attack tree logic to maritime and industrial protocols
- Build reusable threat libraries for fleet-wide systems
- Anticipate terrorist fraud and distance bounding attacks in access controls
- Implement a living threat model updated by operational telemetry
