# Practical Threat Modeling for Software Developers


- **Event:** World Congress 2026 North America

## Description

Security isn’t just about firewalls and patches, it starts long before the first line of code is deployed.

In this workshop, we’ll explore how threat modeling helps teams move from a reactive security mindset to a proactive, design-first approach. You’ll learn how to identify vulnerabilities before they become incidents, map out potential attack paths, and make risk-informed decisions, all before the build is complete.
