Spring 2023 Hackathon

Purpose

Insecure design is now listed as number 4 in the OWASP Top 10 Web Application Security Risks. In recognition of International Women’s Day, we’re launching our first hackathon to promote data privacy early in the software development lifecycle. Through the design challenge, workshops, and mentorship in this hackathon, we want to equip developers with threat modeling knowledge and skills to proactively engage in designing secure technology.

Who’s this hackathon for

Software developers and security engineers interested in learning more about threat modeling or putting their skills to the test are welcome to join. Beginner is 100% welcome! You don’t need any prior experience in threat modeling and/or software security.

Why should you join

• Collaborate with developers worldwide to create a threat model and engage in problem-solving.
• Brush up on your threat modeling knowledge and up your skills through the hands-on workshops.
