Hey all - Dave here In the interest of giving Adam a break on the threat modeling series, I thought I'd take this week and give him a breather. As much as I like him blogging about threat modeling, I like him driving our tool development efforts even more As we have alluded to many times in the past, our success with the SDL has been predicated...
