Threat Modeling a Generative AI Enterprise Application
ABSTRACT:
Threat modeling generative AI products can be daunting due to their complex requirements, but proper scoping, a framework, and a tool can streamline the process and recycle your work! After this presentation you will:
1. Walk away with recommendations to scope your GenAI app, so you only focus on relevant threats;
2. Learn how the four question framework pairs well with STRIDE per element to identify threats and mitigations, and;
3. Leave with a link to a nifty tool to modularize threat modeling results as code, so you can meet the developers where they are!
