About this session

What if threat modeling felt more like a quest than a checklist? In this workshop, you’ll learn how to design and launch a Dungeons & Dragons-inspired threat modeling experience that transforms software security into an immersive, team-building adventure. We’ll walk through every step: character creation, XP mechanics, storytelling prompts, and monster metaphors; helping you turn your devs into defenders of the realm.
