Threat Modeling Masterclass: A Step-by-Step Guide to Identifying and Mitigating Security Risks
Course Overview This comprehensive course provides a thorough understanding of threat modeling, a critical aspect of cybersecurity that helps organizations identify and mitigate potential security risks. Participants will learn a step-by-step approach to threat modeling, including how to identify threats, assess risks, and implement effective countermeasures.
Course Objectives - Understand the fundamentals of threat modeling and its importance in cybersecurity
- Learn a structured approach to threat modeling, including threat identification, risk assessment, and mitigation
- Develop skills in identifying and prioritizing potential threats to an organization's assets
- Understand how to implement effective countermeasures to mitigate identified threats
- Apply threat modeling concepts to real-world scenarios and case studies
Course Outline Module 1: Introduction to Threat Modeling
