Talk topics
Threat modeling for secure software design
Understand a system, identify threats, choose mitigations, and follow through on the results. Explore data flow diagrams, trust boundaries, and practical questions that help developers and architects find design problems before release.
Building and sustaining a threat modeling program
Make threat modeling a repeatable part of how teams design and change software. Discuss collaborative participation, documenting findings, and revisiting models as applications evolve.
Security champions
Define the role of a security champion and build a program that supports development teams. Explore goals, training, recognition, and the communication that keeps a champion network useful.
Application security in the development process
Fit security activities into the way teams actually deliver software. Compare Waterfall and Agile practices and identify opportunities for useful feedback throughout development.
