About this Session

This open Q&A session at Frontend Finland 2025 pairs Jussi Eronen and Zak Allal for a wide-ranging discussion on practical cybersecurity. The conversation spans secure-by-design principles, how to do threat modeling without drowning in theater, emerging risks introduced by AI systems, and the underdiscussed fragility of software that touches critical infrastructure.

Topics Discussed

Secure design and threat modeling

How teams can bake security into architecture from day one rather than bolting it on, and how to run threat modeling exercises that actually change decisions.

AI-related threats

New attack surfaces created by AI-powered features, prompt injection, model abuse, and what defenders should watch for as LLMs move deeper into production systems.

Software and energy system vulnerabilities

The panel discusses weaknesses in software supply chains and in the systems that run energy infrastructure, where the blast radius of a failure extends far beyond a single app.
