Security Is a Design Habit: Threat Modeling Python AI Applications Before They Ship - Chakra Pavan Kumar Kota
Security problems rarely begin as security problems. They often begin as unclear assumptions, missing boundaries, rushed integrations, or decisions made before risks are visible. As Python becomes a common foundation for AI-enabled applications, teams need practical ways to bring security thinking earlier into design conversations. This talk introduces threat modeling as a lightweight habit for Python teams building AI, data, and cloud-connected systems, focused on collaboration patterns that help developers, security teams, and product stakeholders reason together.
