About Course

This module provides an in-depth exploration of threat modeling techniques and attack surface management, essential for proactively identifying and mitigating cybersecurity risks. Learners will study established methodologies such as STRIDE and PASTA to systematically analyze potential threats. The module also covers practical strategies for mapping and assessing attack surfaces across networks, applications, and endpoints. Hands-on use of popular tools like Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool and OWASP frameworks will equip learners with skills to implement effective threat modeling processes. Real-world case studies demonstrate how organizations have successfully reduced risks by adopting proactive threat identification and mitigation strategies.
