Threat Modelling and Secure Systems Architecture

Security bolted on at the end of a project is expensive and rarely effective. This course teaches architects and developers to anticipate attacks while a system is still on the drawing board. Participants learn structured threat modelling techniques and apply them to real designs so that controls are built in rather than patched later.

What you will be able to do

  • Break down a system into components, data flows and trust boundaries.
  • Apply structured methods to identify threats against a design.
  • Rank threats by likelihood and potential business impact.
  • Select controls that reduce risk without crippling usability.
  • Embed security decisions into architecture and design documents.
  • Integrate threat modelling into everyday project and development work.
