Brenda Larcom and Eleanor Saitta have created a new system for threat modeling, called "TRIKE," that they have been using and presenting for the last few years. Their site for it is at http://octotrike.org (though it isn't up to date with all of the most recent work). Brenda is coming to Mozilla to present TRIKE to everyone, especially our security organization.

Introduction
Hi, we're about 30 people you probably didn't know about before. We work on things like Sync (including the spiffy Android Sync being shown at MWC), as well as a number of other awesome, scalable infrastructure stuff, so you don't have to.
We're a friendly bunch, and would love to hear from you on services-dev@ or via IRC on #services-dev.
