This whitepaper presents a practical framework for scaling threat modeling by embedding it within Security Champions programs. It highlights the challenge of limited security resources and explains how distributing threat modeling responsibilities across development teams improves scalability and early risk detection. The paper introduces simplified methodologies like the Four Question Framework and STRIDE, tailored for non-experts, along with training, tooling, and workflow integration strategies. It emphasizes embedding threat modeling into Agile/DevOps processes, making it continuous rather than one-off. The key takeaway is that empowering developers as security champions enables scalable, proactive security by integrating threat modeling directly into everyday development workflows.
