Think of it as a three-week virtual bootcamp for threat modeling – where you’ll dive into intense threat modeling exercises with people who are just as passionate (and maybe even a bit obsessed) about secure design as you are!

You’ll team up with 4-6 people and choose from one of three tracks, each focused on a different system. Acting as Security Consultant, your job is to review a system design, identify key threats, and propose solutions. The team with the sharpest analysis and most innovative solutions wins their track.

Anyone who's already into threat modeling or anyone who's curious and ready to learn the ropes.

Zero. Nada. Zilch. The Threat Modeling Hackathon is completely free for all participants – thanks to our amazing sponsors who share our mission to make threat modeling a must-have skill and practice for every team.

No worries! You’re in great company. Over 30% of our past participants started with zero threat modeling experience. This is where they got their start! We offer beginner workshops and resource packs to get you up to speed. Plus, mentors and more experienced teammates will have your back.

We’re all about teamwork. The Threat Modeling Hackathon is a team competition, but don’t worry if you don’t have a team – you can register individually, and we’ll match you with others based on time zones.

The best threat model you can create for the system in your chosen track. Acting as a Security Consultant, your team will analyze the system design, identify the top threats, and propose solutions.
