Software Security and Threat Modeling Workshop
The "Software Security and Threat Modeling Workshop" provides the frameworks and tools necessary to identify, assess, and mitigate application-level vulnerabilities before deployment. Participants explore STRIDE, DFDs, and attack tree techniques while applying real-world threat modeling to codebases. Integrating security early helps minimize the surface area for exploits like injection attacks, buffer overflows, and misconfigurations. This workshop empowers developers and architects to build inherently secure software systems.
