Threat Modeling: Star Wars Edition
This talk will walk through threat modeling fundamentals with a fun Star Wars twist! Even what may seem the most impenetrable, will always have a secret way in that can be exploited. Be it an error in code, an unaccounted-for perspective, or a convenient airshaft leading to the center of a giant, black, round space craft, a developer must be aware of potential weaknesses. Using threat models is like getting the blueprint to the Death Star. They allow you to plan for potential scenarios or ambush attacks from storm troopers with impossibly bad aim. Understanding the possible risks ensures your entire team will make it back to the millennium falcon. In this talk, {redacted} will walk you through understanding threats in a cloud system and how to protect yourself from the dark side.
Automating Threat Modeling: Challenges and AI Solutions
Threat modeling is essential for identifying and mitigating cybersecurity risks, but manual processes can be slow and error-prone. This talk explores how AI can accelerate and enhance threat modeling.
We will begin by discussing the challenge of threat modeling tools becoming obsolete due to the rapid pace of development in the tech space. We will then introduce a C# tool that automates attack tree creation, highlighting its features.
Real-world examples will demonstrate how AI streamlines threat modeling, increasing efficiency and ensuring consistency. We will also discuss the challenges of automating threat modeling, including analyzing system architectures and identifying attack vectors.
Additionally, we will address AI's limitations in threat modeling and mitigation strategies.
Whether you're new to threat modeling or want to improve existing practices, this talk will show you how AI can revolutionize your cybersecurity approach.
