Threat Modeling Skills Training

threat modeling skills training

Strengthen your cybersecurity strategy with practical threat modeling skills training. This comprehensive course teaches you how to identify, evaluate, and mitigate security threats in software systems and IT infrastructure. Whether you’re a security professional, developer, or IT manager, you’ll gain hands-on experience using industry-recognized frameworks to proactively secure applications and networks from design to deployment.

What You’ll Learn

• Core concepts and objectives of threat modeling
• Identifying assets, threats, and vulnerabilities in systems
• Using popular frameworks: STRIDE, DREAD, PASTA, and LINDDUN
• Mapping attack surfaces and threat vectors
• Integrating threat modeling into the software development lifecycle (SDLC)
• Collaborating with developers and stakeholders to reduce risk
• Documenting, reviewing, and iterating threat models
• Real-world case studies and hands-on modeling exercises

Requirements

• Basic understanding of software development or IT systems
• Familiarity with cybersecurity principles is helpful but not mandatory
• Willingness to analyze systems critically and think like an attacker

Course Description

This threat modeling skills training course is designed to equip learners with the practical knowledge needed to predict and prevent cyber threats before they become incidents. Through structured lessons and interactive labs, you’ll learn how to deconstruct systems, identify risk points, and propose mitigations using proven modeling methodologies like STRIDE (Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, Elevation of Privilege).

From application design to post-deployment review, this course integrates threat modeling into every phase of the SDLC. You’ll gain real-world skills in visualizing data flows, identifying high-risk components, and working collaboratively with developers, DevOps teams, and security analysts.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to confidently create and present threat models that help your team build secure, resilient systems and comply with security best practices and frameworks like OWASP and NIST.
