# Cloud Threat Modelling Clinic

> Develop cloud threat modelling skills through mentor-led sessions and practical security scenarios. This clinic focuses on shared responsibility, abuse cases, and designing effective security guardrails.

## Overview

Modern cloud environments introduce new attack surfaces and shared responsibility challenges. Organisations must proactively identify threats, misuse scenarios, and vulnerabilities across cloud services and architectures.

This mentor-led clinic introduces practical approaches to Threat Modelling in cloud environments. The programme focuses on understanding shared responsibility models, identifying abuse cases, and implementing guardrails to reduce risk.

Through practical scenarios and guided exercises, learners explore how to model threats, analyse risks, and design secure cloud architectures. By the end of the clinic, participants will be able to apply structured threat modelling techniques to real-world cloud systems.

## Prerequisites

- Basic understanding of cloud computing concepts.
- Familiarity with networking and security fundamentals.
- Exposure to AWS, Azure, or GCP is helpful but not required.
