Learning Threat Modeling for Security Professionals
I completed the LinkedIn Learning course Threat Modeling for Security Professionals, taught by cybersecurity expert Adam Shostack. This training provided a comprehensive overview of threat modeling—a crucial framework for identifying and mitigating potential security risks in systems. Through the traditional four-question framework and the STRIDE model (spoofing, tampering, repudiation, information disclosure, denial of service, and elevation of privilege), I learned how to systematically assess threats and integrate effective controls during system design and deployment. Using a real-world case study, I applied these principles to identify security and privacy vulnerabilities, strengthening my ability to proactively address potential risks in operational environments.
