Presentation Synopsis

Threat modeling is a critical process that helps organizations identify and mitigate potential security threats in the early stages of projects or when a legacy application is discovered with little to no documentation. This presentation aims to serve as a comprehensive introduction to the wonderful galaxy of Threat Modeling. We will explore the fundamental questions: What is threat modeling? Why is it crucial for cybersecurity? How can it be integrated into your development and IT processes effectively? Why do I feel like I'm in preschool again? This presentation will provide you with a structured approach to threat modeling, demystifying the process and breaking it down into manageable steps. We will discuss various methodologies and tools available for threat modeling. Grab your towel and join us for "The Security Hitchhiker's Guide to Threat Modeling." Leave with a clear understanding of how to embark on your threat modeling journey.
