Title: Introduction to Threat Modeling

How will you account for changes in the threat landscape? We will explore all of these questions and discuss a repeatable process for reducing risk.

At Calero, Jim volunteers on an internal security team to promote secure development practices, conduct threat modeling, and support security initiatives.
