Application Security Design Anti-Patterns
Aleksei Meshcheriakov, Senior Engineer, Klarna

Anti-patterns are the frequently used insecure application design practices. Using such patterns may lead to repeated vulnerabilities and other security problems. Moreover, future architectural redesign for fixing antipatterns will be very difficult.

Aleksei's talk will cover the most common application security design anti-patterns for web services. It's targeted for appsec engineers and developers of web services who are responsible for application architecture.

Speaker bio:
Aleksei works in the Secure Development team at Klarna, and has a strong passion for building web applications that are secure by design. As a Senior Security Engineer, he empowers Klarna engineers to design, build, and deliver secure software.

How Klarna Does Threat Modeling
Joakim Uddholm, Senior Engineer, Klarna

Joakim will present an overview of Klarna's threat modeling methodology, focusing on the key principles, processes, and tools we employ to identify and mitigate security risks. Attendees will gain practical insights into Klarna's approach to threat modeling, how it has evolved over time and how it integrates into the software development lifecycle.

Speaker bio:
Just like Aleksei, Joakim works as a Senior Security Engineer in the Secure Development team at Klarna — where he enjoys both building and breaking systems. One of Joakim's main focus areas the past years has been to run and improve the threat modeling process for the organization.
