Cybersecurity Fundamentals | Session 2 | Cybersecurity Frameworks & Threat Modelling

Welcome to Session 2 of the Cybersecurity Fundamentals course — Cybersecurity Frameworks & Threat Modelling.
In this session, you’ll discover how organizations protect their systems, data, and users using globally recognized cybersecurity frameworks. From banks and hospitals to social media platforms, every modern system relies on structured security models to stay ahead of cyber threats.

You’ll learn the purpose and structure of major frameworks such as NIST CSF, ISO/IEC 27001, STRIDE, and MITRE ATT&CK, and understand how each one guides real?world security decisions. Through practical examples and case studies—including the WannaCry ransomware attack, Target breach, and Twitter/X data breaches—you’ll see how these frameworks are applied to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber incidents.

By the end of this session, you’ll have a clear understanding of how cybersecurity frameworks work, why they matter, and how threat modelling helps organizations anticipate and mitigate attacks before they happen.
Join me as we break down the blueprints that keep our digital world secure.Helo
