OWASP Conference Update
I will be presenting at the OWASP conference in Denver, CO this Tuesday, June 10th. The presentation will focus on the value that organizations especially ISVs can derive from threat modeling of line of business applications. For some time now, I've been brainstorming with my team on the competitive value of proactive security approaches like threat modeling. This presentation will empower business decision makers to make an informed decision on whether threat modeling is right for their business.
See you there.
