Presented By: Sebastien Deleersnyder (Toreon)
In this edition Toreon enhanced the section on privacy by design, compliance, and added a section on threat modeling medical devices. All participants get Toreon’s Threat Modeling Playbook plus one-year access to their online threat modeling learning platform. As part of this training, you will be asked to create your own threat model, on which you will get individual feedback. One month after the training Toreon organize an online review session with all the participants.
As highly skilled professionals with years of experience under their belts, Toreon are intimately familiar with the gap between academic knowledge of threat modeling and real-world practice. To minimize that gap, they 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 they provide their students with a challenging 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:
- Diagramming web and mobile applications, sharing the same REST backend
- Threat modeling an IoT gateway with a cloud-based update service
- Get into the defender’s head — modeling points of attack against a nuclear facility
- Threat mitigations of OAuth scenarios for an HR application
- Privacy analysis of a new face recognition system in an airport
After each hands-on workshop, the results are discussed, and students receive a documented solution. Based on Toreon’s successful trainings in the last years and the great and positive feedback, they released this updated threat modeling training at Global AppSec San Francisco 2022.

As highly skilled professionals with years of experience under our belts, Toreon are intimately familiar with the gap between academic knowledge of threat modeling and real-world practice.
To minimize that gap they 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 they provide their students with a robust training experience and the templates to incorporate threat modeling best practices in their daily work.
The students will be challenged to perform the threat modeling in groups of 3 to 4 people performing the different stages of threat modeling on:
- B2B web and mobile applications, sharing the same REST backend
- An Internet of Things (IoT) deployment with an on premise gateway and secure update service
- OAuth scenarios for mobile and web applications
- privacy impact assessment of a face recognition system in an airport
After each hands-on workshop, the results are discussed, and the students receive a documented solution.
- The students should bring their own laptop to the course.
