Threat Modeling Wins for Agile AppSec
10-08, 10:30–10:55 (Canada/Eastern), ENG-103

Threat modeling for long has been a “design level” activity that fit in right at the beginning of a well defined application security strategy, and rightfully so. However, the current speed and scale of product and security engineering has forced software teams to overlook this very critical element of software security...and rightfully so!

Rahul Raghavan is a Director of Advisory within the Cyber Risk practice, based in Toronto. Rahul is a leader in application security and leverages more than 12 years of experience in assisting product teams building and scaling software security programs across market verticals, allowing him to customize application security solutions and delivery models for customers.

Prior to joining Kroll, Rahul served as a director of advisory for AppSec and DevSecOps at Security Compass Advisory, which was acquired by Kroll in 2021. Before that, he was one of the founding members of we45, a global application security firm, as well as mentoring and advising early-stage cyber security firms as part of the accelerator program, Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst, at Ryerson University.

Rahul received a Bachelor’s Degree in Information Technology from Anna University. He is also a Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA). Further, Rahul is a regular speaker on a variety of application security topics – automation, DevSecOps, AppSec tooling and threat modeling in agile engineering – at global conferences and seminars, such as BSides, ISACA, OWASP and ISC2.
