Threat Modeling Connect Community Guidelines

Welcome to the Threat Modeling Connect (TMC) Community! As a growing community of threat modeling practitioners, we are dedicated to fostering collaboration, sharing knowledge, and supporting one another as we advance threat modeling practices. These community guidelines ensures that our community remains respectful, inclusive, and focused on helping each member thrive. Please take a moment to review the guidelines below so we can maintain a positive and enriching environment for all.

Our Mission

Threat Modeling Connect brings together threat modeling practitioners of all experience levels to collaborate, share, grow, and make threat modeling a de facto practice in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). 

Our Values

Be Generous: We all have a part to play in making this community a better place by stepping up to help others learn and grow in their career without asking for anything in return.

Be Respectful: We relish the diversity of our beliefs, backgrounds, and experiences that broadens our perspectives. And even when that means we sometimes will disagree with each other, we do it respectfully.

‍Be Open-Minded: We’re always curious about new ideas and viewpoints and are open to challenging our own assumptions.

Code of Conduct

To create an environment that allows our members to collaborate effectively, we adhere to the following guidelines:

Zero tolerance for hate speech, attacks, or bullying: Help us make the community a safe place where everyone and every idea can thrive. We appreciate and sometimes may respectfully challenge different opinions, views, and approaches but never attack the person.

No self-promotion: Please don’t promote your products or services, including free events, links, and articles in any forums, or use Direct Message as an acquisition channel. If anyone sends you a message with an intention of acquisition please send Shuning a DM and let us know. (That said, if there’s an industry event or resource that you think other community members may benefit from, please DM Shuning and let’s discuss!) 

No job postings: Please don’t share job postings in any forums. We may establish a dedicated area for job postings in the future.

Give more than you take: We believe everyone can be a contributor. New to threat modeling? Your fresh perspective as a beginner may be a precious gift to veterans who’ve been deep in the weeds :)
