Episode 24 — Threat Modeling: Cloud-Specific Approaches and Patterns
Threat modeling is a proactive practice for identifying risks before they become incidents. In this episode, we introduce cloud-specific approaches to threat modeling, including how to adapt methods like STRIDE and attack trees for distributed and multitenant systems. You’ll see how understanding cloud architecture helps pinpoint trust boundaries, dependencies, and likely attack vectors.
We also discuss how threat modeling is tested on the CCSP exam, particularly in design and scenario questions that require applying preventive controls. Cloud brings unique challenges such as shared infrastructure, API exposure, and dynamic scaling that must be accounted for in any analysis. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how to systematically evaluate threats and apply controls tailored for cloud contexts. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
