Modelling Threats Out In The Open (Source)

Secure development is hard. Throughout the entire development of an open source project, security needs to be top of mind due to a potential myriad threats. Security matrices backed by a comprehensive threat model may be required, so that the threats of a system can be evaluated. Card games using STRIDE are great when your project has a large core team, but what if you only have a couple of people? What if your threats are better served by DREAD, PASTA or LINDDUN? What even are these acronyms?! Arrgggh! This talk will explore how to make threat modelling easier for developers through an open source tool, Threagile. Equipping yourself with a better understanding of these models will enable you to pinpoint threats before review.
