How threat modelling gives APRA-regulated entities defensible evidence for CPS 234's design-time control obligations, and a process that fits alongside CPS 230.
How to threat model AI systems: STRIDE extended for LLM applications, the OWASP LLM Top 10 mapped to design-time decisions, and a worked RAG example.
Eight tools for threat modeling and security design review, compared honestly by a vendor that competes with most of them: who each one is actually for, what changed after the ThreatModeler-IriusRisk deal, and how AI reshuffled the category.
What each of the CISA Secure by Design pledge's seven goals asks of an engineering organization, which practice owns it, and how to tell commitment from a logo.
A walkthrough of one representative afternoon: a whiteboard photo becomes an editable architecture diagram, a written design explanation, a STRIDE threat model with mapped controls, and a signed design record before the end of the day.
Why security decisions decay faster than the systems they govern, and how a six-heading ADR turns risk acceptances, exceptions, and design calls into precedent instead of folklore.
