What this module changes in your work

  • Identify assets, actors, trust boundaries and likely abuse before choosing controls.
  • Reduce exploitability through browser policy, secret hygiene and repeatable dependency review.
  • Use assets, attack surface, STRIDE questions in one coherent implementation.
  • Complete this evidence-backed checkpoint: Threat-model and harden the CourseFlow application.

Lessons

PROJECT CHECKPOINT

Turn web security into evidence

Threat-model and harden the CourseFlow application.

  • Write acceptance criteria for assets before implementation.
  • Keep the change small enough that a reviewer can connect it to the intended behavior.
  • Use the most direct check available for attack surface and save the result.
  • Record one decision you would keep and one you would revisit after feedback.
