Hi there! I’m Davide Cioccia, founder of DCODX, an ethical hacking, and DevSecOps consulting and coaching firm. Besides helping companies implement their Sec in DevOps, I’m also a developer of security tools (check our GitHub), OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide contributor and DevSecCon Chapter Lead for the Netherlands. You can find my talks at security conferences like BlackHat, OWASP AppSec, DevSecCon, DevDays Europe and more online, together with some CVE disclosed to Microsoft and other big vendors. Enjoy my course :)

Course overview

Threat modeling is one of the most important activities in secure software development. This course is designed to give students a practical understanding of Threat Modeling, through whiteboard exercises, real case scenarios, tools, and techniques available in the security industry. The course is project-oriented. Students will go over hands-on labs together with the trainer and solve some of the challenges presented. During the course, other concepts like Secure Coding Principles, Security Requirements, Agile Threat Modelling, Threat Modelling as Code, and Cloud Security will be introduced. This is to ensure that students have a complete overview of the differences and the output of each phase.
