Cyber Threat Modelling

As well as preparing a threat model for a new conceptual model I am developing for my research, I was recently asked to give an overview of how threat modelling can assist in architectural and design processes. The request was for a video presentation and so I had two requirements to revisit this topic. Time for revision!

So this post is a landing page for my unlisted YouTube video and useful links I might need to reference. In other words, more useful to me than anyone else who ends up here on their travels!

The video covers:

  • What is threat modelling?
  • What is it used for and why do it?
  • What is the link between threat intelligence and threat modelling?
  • What is the relationship between threat modelling and risk assessment?
  • Example
  • Emerging uses, techniques and tools
  • References & resources
