Personal Threat Modelling for Fun and Peace of Mind

SeaGL 2018

It’s easy to see what being secure means in an enterprise setting, but what about personal security? In a world where technology and the goal posts for security are constantly changing, understanding what threats you face and what risk they pose is the first step. In this talk, I will discuss what a threat model is, and walk you through the process of making a threat model relevant to your personal circumstances. Having this model will enable you to choose mitigation actions to suit your risk profile and lifestyle.
