This training is a condensed version of the two-day training that Toreon has been teaching at security conferences like BlackHat USA for several years. It aims to introduce the fundamentals of threat modeling using the DICE-framework (a.k.a. the “Four Question Framework”) for threat modeling a ficticious hotel booking application.

This course is an entry-level introduction to threat modeling aimed at anyone responsible for ensuring a product’s security, be it software or hardware, regardless of their prior expertise in security. We advocate that threat modeling isn’t just for the “happy few” but is essential knowledge for all involved in the software development lifecycle. Typical attendees of this course range from software developers, engineers, and architects to product managers focused on security, incident responders, and cybersecurity analysts or managers.
