Course overview

Have you ever been involved in a development project where cybersecurity was handled in an unorganised manner or wasn’t taken seriously enough? For example, software developers are often driven by new features and therefore do not pay equal attention to cybersecurity.

Neglecting cybersecurity leads to uncertain guarantees on the robustness of the product. The security technical debt also limits the teams’ options to mitigate security threats.

To address product security, threat modeling is seen as a cornerstone of building secure products and applications in an efficient, organised and systematic manner.

Course duration: 1 day
