Performing Threat Modeling with the PASTA Methodology
Do you have a hard time mitigating threats to your applications? Are you confused how to employ threat modeling? This course will teach you how to effectively employ threat modeling to reduce the attack surface of your application. We will use case studies to effectively.
What you'll learn
If you are familiar with threat modeling as an exercise, you would know that threat modeling involves identification of threats and vulnerabilities in the context of your applications. In this course, Performing Threat Modeling with the PASTA Methodology, you’ll learn to build application threat models using PASTA methodology. First, you’ll explore the fundamentals of threat modeling. Next, you’ll discover how to dissect applications into smaller components followed by threat, vulnerability, and weakness analysis. Finally, you’ll learn how to build attack models. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of PASTA methodology needed to conduct threat modeling.
