About this session

Expanding from the introduction of this topic at ThreatModCon 2023, this session delves into how technical threat modeling enhances security assessments in human-organizational contexts. Exploring bidirectional influence between technical and non-technical realms, we'll discuss using data flow diagrams to map human networks. We'll also investigate leveraging socio-political, economic, and legal factors to prioritize mitigation, fostering proactive harm reduction. Drawing from over a decade of research, we'll advance methods for both technical and non-technical users, enabling an intersectional approach suitable for diverse risk scenarios.
