CompetencyAbstractComputing systems face diverse and substantial cybersecurity threats. To mitigate thesecybersecurity threats while developing software, engineers need to be competent in the skill ofthreat modeling. In industry and academia, there are many frameworks for teaching threatmodeling, but our analysis of these frameworks suggests that (1) these approaches tend to befocused on component-level analysis rather than educating students to reason holistically about asystem’s cybersecurity, and (2) there is no rubric for assessing a student’s threat modelingcompetency. To address these concerns, we propose using systems thinking in conjunction withpopular and industry-standard threat modeling frameworks like STRIDE for teaching andassessing threat modeling
