Workshop: Designing for Security – A Hands-On Threat Modeling Workshop, by WE LEAD
Information
Time: 15:55 - 16:45
Level: Advanced
Target Audience: This workshop is designed for developers, software architects, and DevSecOps practitioners who want to build more resilient systems. You’ll walk away with:
Security isn’t just about fixing bugs. It’s about designing systems that can stand up to real-world threats. That’s where threat modeling comes in. By identifying risks early in the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), you can prevent costly design flaws, reduce downstream vulnerabilities, and make security an enabler instead of an afterthought.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to apply threat modeling directly to your own systems and projects. We’ll cover the basic concepts of threat modeling and walk through the STRIDE methodology. Then, in an interactive group exercise, you’ll work with your peers to analyze a real-world inspired system, uncover threats, and propose mitigations.
Make security a design choice, not a last-minute patch.
What will you learn
1. Practical skills for spotting threats and weaknesses early in design
2. A repeatable process you can bring into design reviews and sprint planning
3. Confidence in making design decisions with security in mind
