Learn Whiteboard Hacking With Toreon’s Finest
Toreon’s whiteboard hacking course teaches a practical methodology to perform threat modeling. The course combines pragmatic approach to threat model theory with techniques for each threat model step. This enables attendees to handle any threat model in real life. In this course we answer 4 questions:
- What are we building?
- What could possibly go wrong?
- What are we going to do about it?
- Did we do a good enough job?
Before attending this course, students should be familiar with basic knowledge of web and mobile Applications, databases & Single sign-on (SSO) principles. This 2 day course takes place at the Novotel London West, Hammersmith from the 2nd – 3rd of December, 2019.

“Learn Whiteboard Hacking and Build Skills For Successful Threat Modeling”
Get More Out Of Your Models
As highly skilled professionals with years of experience under our belts we know that there is a gap between academic knowledge of threat modeling and the real world. In order to minimize that gap we have developed practical Use Cases, based on real life projects. Each use case includes a description of the environment, together with questions and templates to build a threat model. Using this methodology for the hands-on workshops we provide our students with a robust training experience and the templates to incorporate threat modeling best practices in their daily work.
Students will be challenged in groups of 3 to 4 people to perform the different stages of threat modeling on the following:
- B2B web and mobile applications, sharing the same REST backend
- An Internet of Things (IoT) deployment with an on premise gateway and a cloud based update service
- OAuth scenarios for an HR application
- Privacy of a new face recognition system in an airport
- Get into the defenders head – modeling points of attack against a nuclear facility
After each hands-on workshop, the results are discussed, and students receive a documented solution.
We will show how this methodology can be integrated into your existing processes and where tools might be of assistance. We will provide a curated list of references and reading material to use after the course.
We will finish the course with an exam to provide you with a certificate to prove your knowledge.
