Elevation of Privilege gave Certainity a practical and engaging way to bring threat modelling into client workshops.

We created a fully branded edition, with a bespoke box and card backs designed around Certainity’s distinctive visual identity. The result was a professional workshop tool that supported meaningful client conversations while reinforcing Certainity’s expertise and brand.

RBI discovered that Cornucopia could do more than support threat modelling. It could accelerate developer onboarding.

New engineers could join sessions before they fully understood the codebase, using the cards to ask questions, explore potential threats and connect different parts of the system. As experienced engineers discussed architecture, data flows and system behaviour, new team members built their understanding by actively participating rather than waiting until they had learnt everything first.

The approach proved so useful that it became part of the group's guidance for using the tool.

Elevation of Privilege gave ZHAW a practical way to introduce students to threat-based thinking without relying on theory alone.

The cards provided a useful starting point for students new to threat modelling, giving them concrete examples to identify, discuss and investigate. They also acted as an aide-memoire when teaching time was limited, while encouraging students to explore unfamiliar threats independently.

The result was a more accessible and engaging way to teach threat modelling in the classroom.
