Course Description

As you plan your experience in threat modeling and its importance in cybersecurity, this course is intended to build advanced skills that professionals can use to protect systems in an evolving cyber risk landscape while examining the details of attack trees, continuous threat modeling, Threagile, and cloud threat modeling. We aim to deliver a complete understanding of these important topics.
Whether translating the visual representation of attack trees onto the mixed-methods of continuous threat modeling to embed it into your CI/CD pipelines, or to provide practical implementation nuggets, this course has you covered with practical examples and demonstrations. You will also be trained to interact with Threagile's YAML files, set up automated detection of threats, and create a mitigation strategy tailored to effectively alleviate risk as it evolves.
In addition to the unique challenges of securing cloud environments and diving into details around identity management, configuration security, and responsibility sharing, we will look at the Cloud Security Alliance's innovative threat modeling cards to visually consider threats, vulnerabilities, and controls associated with using systems based in the Cloud. In this expansive journey, participants will achieve a comprehensive understanding of threat modeling strategies to integrate security proactively into development life cycles. Leverage collaborative methods and industry best practices to build a secure system against evolving cyber threats.
Enhance your security skillset and protect future systems with confidence by attending this comprehensive threat modeling class.
You will learn about:
1. Advanced Understanding: A comprehensive understanding of attack trees, continuous threat modeling, Threagile, and cloud threat modeling that enables them to manage complex threat landscapes.
2. Practical Application: Hands-on experience in translating an attack tree's graphical representation, embedding continuous threat modeling into CI/CD pipelines, interacting with Threagile's YAML, and automating threat detection.
3. Customized Strategies: The capability to create customized mitigation strategies for a dynamic risk environment, ensuring systems are built to keep up with evolving threats.
4. And much more!

Goals

By the end of this course you will understand:
  • Foundational Concepts: Understanding the core elements of threat modeling, including assets, threats, vulnerabilities, and risks.
  • Methodologies: Exploring various threat modeling methodologies like STRIDE, DREAD, Attack Trees, MITRE ATT&CK and how to apply them in different scenarios.
  • Practical Application: Applying threat modeling techniques to real-world scenarios, software systems, or network architectures.
  • Tool Usage: Familiarity with tools and software used in threat modeling to streamline the process and enhance efficiency.
  • Risk Assessment: Learning to evaluate and prioritize risks based on their likelihood and impact, enabling effective risk mitigation strategies.
  • Integration with SDLC: Understanding how to integrate threat modeling into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) for proactive security.
  • Industry Best Practices: Studying industry best practices, standards, and compliance requirements related to threat modeling in various sectors.
  • Emerging Trends: Staying updated with evolving threats, new attack vectors, and the latest approaches to threat modeling

Derek Fisher

Nearly 30 years in engineering and cybersecurity has taught me one thing: the best security happens when you build it into everything from the ground up. I'm a cybersecurity strategist who believes in lifting up the next generation of cyber professionals while solving today's most complex security challenges. What I do: Currently serving as Director of Temple University's Cyber Defense and Information Assurance Program, where I'm building the curriculum that prepares cybersecurity professionals for real-world threats. I also teach secure software development because developers who understand security from day one build better products. Previously worked in product security at JPMorgan Chase and built the product security program at Envestnet, where I transformed how global organizations integrate security into their product lifecycles. From vulnerability management programs to cloud transformations, I've helped companies reduce risk while accelerating innovation. What drives me: Writing books about cybersecurity (Alicia Connected series, The Application Security Program Handbook) because security awareness should start early. Contributing to the community through my SubStack, YouTube channel, and speaking at conferences because knowledge shared is knowledge multiplied. My approach: Security isn't about saying no but about finding the right way to say yes. Whether I'm working with C-suite executives or entry-level developers, I focus on practical solutions that actually work in the real world. I've worked across finance, healthcare, defense, and commercial industries. Every sector faces unique challenges, but the fundamentals remain the same: good security enables business, it doesn't hinder it.
