Cloud Threat Modeling - From Architecture Design to Application Development

This course introduces cloud threat modeling for systems and applications, covering attack-centered and system-centered analysis, STRIDE, attack trees, common cloud threats, and the Cloud Controls Matrix. It uses examples and a case study to show how to identify assets, vulnerabilities, attack surfaces, and mitigations.
