Thank you @preethisampath for the feedback 😊 Are there specific areas within the operations of a TM program you’d like to explore/learn more about?

I think it is critical to build a TM program that engages developers to aim for as much self-service threat modeling, and bake it in as a cyclic activity.

Great feedback @madchap! We’ll definitely be exploring topics around developer engagement. The community meetup next month will be focused on the strategy and tactics for building and nurturing relationships with key stakeholders. I’ll share more info as soon as the event is scheduled!

I would have to toss a vote in for Operationalizing a threat model program which might also include scaling that program. Easy to do a lot of things on a small scale, its adding 10k developers where it really starts to get fun!

I voted for “Getting leadership buy-in” - I’ve found this to be a key topic in the success of those who are in the weeds of creating, operating, and maturing a threat modeling program.

I think the overall best topic, if I had a second vote, is for “Engaging the development teams” because this is the key to actually getting threat modeling done!

Appreciate the input @JamesR @Hoss! You made me think leadership and developer engagement are in fact all key parts of operationalizing a TM program and perhaps should not be looked at separately. Will make sure we address that in our new content.

A session on the patterns and anti-patterns of the Threat Modeling Manifesto (https://www.threatmodelingmanifesto.org/) would be good.

It seems we all struggle at times to get TM working within an org, so by ensuring a plan has a good dose of the patterns - and measures to avoid the anti-patterns - then it’s definitely a good starting point.
