# Threat Modelling Training (STRIDE)

> Learn threat modelling through mentor-led sessions and practical security workshops. This course focuses on STRIDE methodology, risk analysis, and real-world threat scenarios.

## Overview

Understanding potential threats early in system design is critical to building secure applications and infrastructure. Threat modelling enables teams to proactively identify vulnerabilities and implement effective mitigations before deployment.

This mentor-led programme introduces structured approaches to STRIDE and practical threat analysis techniques. The course focuses on identifying threats across systems, analysing risks, and applying mitigation strategies using proven frameworks.

Through practical workshops and guided exercises, learners explore how to create data flow diagrams, apply STRIDE categories, and prioritise risks. By the end of the programme, participants will be able to conduct effective threat modelling sessions and integrate them into development and architecture workflows.
