Description

In this episode, we discuss the four-question framework for threat modeling with its creator, Adam Shostack. We dive deep into the meaning and purpose of each question and how they simplify the threat modeling process. The four questions are: 1) What are we working on? 2) What can go wrong? 3) What are we going to do about it? 4) Did we do a good job? 

Adam explains that these questions are not a methodology but a foundation for a more practical approach to threat modeling. We also discuss the importance of retrospectives, evolving the framework, and how it can be applied in various situations. Lean into the four questions, and you might become a threat modeling Jedi.
