Applications today are increasingly built on microservices and APIs, and each component introduces potential vulnerabilities. This episode focuses on threat modeling at the application level, showing how to identify and address risks across distributed architectures. Techniques like STRIDE and data flow diagrams can be adapted to cloud environments to uncover trust boundary violations and insecure dependencies.

The exam may test your ability to apply threat modeling in practical scenarios, such as identifying where an API call could be intercepted or manipulated. By mastering these approaches, you’ll not only gain exam points but also develop the skills to proactively strengthen the security posture of cloud-native applications. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
