Episode: The Automation Illusion? What Machines Can't Do in Threat Modeling (god2025)
Description: Threat modeling stands at a critical juncture. While essential for creating secure systems, it remains mostly manual, handcrafted, and often too slow for today's development cycles. At the same time, automation and AI offer new levels of speed and scalability— but how much can we rely on them?
This talk explores the tension between automation and human expertise in threat modeling. We'll dissect the traditional threat modeling process—scoping, modeling, threat identification, risk analysis, and mitigation—and perform a step-by-step gap analysis to identify what can realistically be automated today, what cannot, and why.
We'll dive into:
