Our teachers for the training: Threat Modeling Medical Devices (DPI – MedCrypt)
Regulators worldwide, including the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA), are embracing threat modeling as part of their requirements for medical devices.
Threat Modeling is widely agreed upon by cybersec authorities OWASP and NIST as being one of the most effective methods to reduce this cybersecurity risk and ensure secure software architecture from the get-go.
Training your team in Threat Modeling ensures they have the skills to identify threats and continuously iterate on existing threat models. This way, security can become part of the development lifecycle of your medical device or platform, lowering total costs and increasing security.
Our partner for this training is Medcrypt, a leading cybersecurity firm 100% focused on the MDM market.
Main benefits
- Demonstrable compliance with cybersecurity directives (FDA, EMA, …)
- Lowering your total cost of security
- Security & Privacy by design
- Competitive advantage with secure, future-proof products

Teachers
Toreon’s DPI is globally recognised for its Threat Modeling training and has years of experience delivering cybersecurity to different industries. Medcrypt is a leading cybersecurity firm 100% focused on the MDM market.
All teachers for this course have years of experience in the field and in front of the classroom.
Together, we created the most comprehensive Threat Modelling training curriculum, explicitly targeting MDMs.
Target Group
If you are involved in any aspect of building and maintaining medical devices, this course is for you! You do not need to have a background in security.
We believe that anyone can threat model and that there’s a need for threat modeling to be understood by all those involved in the development lifecycle of medical devices.
What will the course look like?
In-company
We recommend the in-company formula for organisations with 10+ full-time security or software engineers. MDMs that regularly process high-risk data or consider their software to be ‘core’ to the organisation should opt for the in-company formula.
The training consists of 32h/4 days of interactive learning, with a mixture of theory and real-world examples. A significant part of the course consists of creating your own threat model and discussing this with the trainers.

Live online
For organisations with <10 security or software engineers or those that don’t consider their software ‘core’ to the business, we recommend our live online formula: This hybrid format combines self-paced learning with four live labs.
It consists of 32 hours of active learning:
- Self-paced preparatory material (8 h) – released August 28th
- Live lab sessions (16 h) – September 11th – 14th
- Working on your own threat model (6h)
- Reviewing your threat model with our trainers (2h)
Live virtual labs run daily between September 11th – 14th from
- 9 AM – 1 PM (PST)
- 12 PM – 4 PM (EST)
- 6 PM – 10 PM (CEST)
During the live sessions, you’ll get the chance to interact with other participants and ask all the questions you like. After this, you will create your own threat model over the next month. Finally, you’ll spend 2 hours one-to-one with our trainers to review your model.

Introduction
Self-paced
- Why threat modeling
- Regulatory requirements
- How it relates to the medical device development lifecycle, including risk evaluations
- How to think about documentation
- Overview of methods and stages
Lab 1 - Starting a threat model
- Putting a device in clinical and risk context
- Brainstorming threats, updating devices, and multi-patient harm scenarios
- Diagramming and security architecture decomposition
- Trust Boundaries
Hands-on
- Diagramming a clinical decision support application that uses the same REST hosted backend as a mobile patient dashboard
Lab 2 - Identifying Threats
- Using for threat identification
- Combining misuse cases with attack trees
- Building and improving attack libraries
Hands-on
- Analyzing an implanted device that can be remotely controlled by a provider using STRIDE
- Discussing how an attacker might gain access to an implanted device using a compromised hospital’s network using attack trees
- Modifying a threat model to include moving from an on-premise database to a cloud hosted one that includes anonymized patient data
Lab 3 - Evaluate & Mitigate
- Risk Evaluation, including multi-patient harm analysis
- Mitigating threats and addressing potential future threats with patching
- Documenting threats and justifying decisions for internal stakeholders and regulators
Hands-on
- Evaluating threats for an implantable device, including secure updating and integrations based on risk and business evaluation
Lab 4 - Mapping to Regulations
- How to justify evaluations and courses of action for regulatory submissions
- Explanation of how each aspect of threat modeling covered relates to regulatory requirements
- Ways to use the results of a threat model to build other pieces of regulatory submission
Bringing it all Together
Self-paced
- In the immediate month following the live sessions, participants will create their own threat models bringing together all that they’ve learned
- Threat models will then be reviewed individually with our training team, and include a two hour review session
- Additionally, participants are able to speak with our regulatory experts to answer any questions about expectations for regulatory compliance and specific feedback on meeting those requirements
