Course Overview

Organizations are under constant attack from a wide range of cyber threats. To effectively defend against these risks, cybersecurity teams must systematically identify, model, and assess potential threats before they materialize.

This Cyber Threat Modeling and Risk Assessment Training Course provides participants with structured methods for analyzing threats, evaluating vulnerabilities, and quantifying risk. It introduces leading frameworks such as STRIDE, DREAD, MITRE ATT&CK, and NIST risk management, while emphasizing practical application to enterprise systems.

Through workshops, case studies, and simulations, participants will gain hands-on experience in building threat models and conducting risk assessments to improve cyber resilience.
