Keynote: To Live and Die for Threat Modeling.
Nicolás Waisman

To Live and Die for Threat Modeling. In his keynote presentation, Nicolas Waisman will guide us through a dizzying twenty-years of computer security with a clearly offensive focus, to help us understand how it all began and how attackers have adapted to changes in technology. With this in mind, he will analyze current threat modeling and what the future of threat modeling should look like. Do we really understand what we are protecting against, or do the media and economic interests perhaps drive us to pursue imaginary players? These and other questions will be the starting point for understanding, discussing and confronting the current state of our security.
