We'll be diving into practical application threat modeling and risk analysis. Hope to see you there. Application Threat Modeling Workshop Threat modeling is an approach for analyzing the security of an application. It is a structured approach that enables you to identify, quantify, and address the security risks associated with an application. In this participatory session, we'll unlock the shrouded mysteries of threat modeling, revealing the inner secrets. We will grapple with thorny issues like assessing risk, decomposition of the architecture, and appropriate architectural views. At the end of the session, you should prepared to commence the rewarding journey of architecting and designing secure applications. Chapter meetings are provided free of charge although OWASP membership is encouraged and besides supporting the organisation, will provide the holder with benefits in other areas such as free/discounted entry to conferences, etc.
