Coaching

The coaching process starts with assessing the landscape, identifying challenges and goals, and developing a plan, all of which lead to buy-in and signoff.

Scaling threat modeling can be a challenge. Threat modeling at scale requires culture change, and only a few security leaders have the skill to drive culture change.

The changes include:

  • Developers and operations take on more security responsibility
  • Security needs software development skills
  • Security needs to transfer control and quality risk
  • Engineering and operations leadership take on security decisions
  • Escalations change from confrontation to clarification

The coaching process starts with assessing the landscape, identifying challenges and goals, and developing a plan, all of which lead to buy-in and signoff.
