Practical Threat Modeling Master Class: STRIDE-Powered
Ready to build cloud applications that attackers can’t break? In this in-depth podcast, cybersecurity host Prabh Nair sits down with his brother Pushpinder Singh—Cloud Security Architect, CCSP, AWS-Pro, Zero-Trust specialist—to unpack practical, real-world threat modeling. You’ll learn how to weave security into every sprint, cut through compliance noise, and ship code that’s resilient from day one.Pushpinder starts by breaking down STRIDE (Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, Elevation of Privilege), then shows how to map trust boundaries, data-flow diagrams (DFDs) and risk scores to the cloud stack—web front end, APIs, micro-services, payment gateways and AI workloads. Hear war-stories on adding multi-factor authentication, mutual TLS, input validation, encryption at rest/in transit and why early stakeholder buy-in crushes later rework.We dive into:Threat modeling vs secure design reviews—why both matter in DevSecOpsAdapting STRIDE, PASTA, DREAD, MAESTRO to SaaS, serverless and AI systemsBuilding living threat-model docs: scope, data flows, risk registers, Jira ticketsReal e-commerce demo: from login spoofing to tampering mitigation with signed tokensTrust-boundary pitfalls in hybrid / multi-cloud and how to segment for Zero TrustRapid response case study: choosing controls for payment and PII flows without killing agilitySneak peek at Pushpinder’s open-source threat-modeling tool (OWASP ASVS + SAM today, NIST soon)CISO talkshttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0hT6hgexlYwPTD-wC3oFBe27VGEiizg1NIST Serieshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcC_KabV_Ho&list=PL0hT6hgexlYy0vBwMv0eteiyAxB48RQzy&pp=gAQBiAQBGRC Serieshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mq_vSLHm4r0&list=PL0hT6hgexlYztA41j1bceTfVagP9mtq28&pp=gAQBISO 27001 Videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQqJH2naU6I&t=1454s&pp=ygUeaXNvIDI3MDAxIGltcGxlbWVudGF0aW9uIHN0ZXBzISO 27001 Implementation Guidehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBfwk10Hh-o&pp=ygUeaXNvIDI3MDAxIGltcGxlbWVudGF0aW9uIHN0ZXBzGRC Practical Serieshttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0hT6hgexlYztA41j1bceTfVagP9mtq28GRC Interviewhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0hT6hgexlYz1Usn1Nrnur6OzVoz59zylInternal Audithttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0hT6hgexlYyNWBcGYfabwumCr0GKmLWvStick around for next steps: a live, hands-on STRIDE workshop and downloadable templates so you can start threat modeling your own projects tomorrow.#ThreatModeling #CloudSecurity #STRIDE #SecureSDLC #DevSecOps #ZeroTrust #Cybersecurity #SecurityArchitecture
