I vaguely recall that threat modeling is supposed to help reduce costs, but I’m not convinced that’s the primary focus here.

I practiced a similar question, and I think improving user acceptance of security controls is important, but it might not be the main benefit of threat modeling.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like addressing threats later in the SDLC could lead to more issues down the line. That makes me lean away from B.

I remember discussing how integrating threat modeling can help identify risks early in the SDLC, so I think D might be the right choice.

Ah, I see. Integrating threat modeling helps improve security controls and user acceptance. That makes sense - it's all about addressing security concerns upfront in the development process.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know threat modeling is important, but I'm not sure how it specifically benefits the Agile approach. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Okay, I've got it. If we integrate threat modeling earlier in the Agile SDLC, we can address potential threats sooner rather than later. That's got to be the best approach.

"Call Home" is definitely the right answer here. I remember learning about that in the lecture - it's IBM's automated system for detecting issues and alerting their support team. Feels like a straightforward question if you know the terminology.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to review the WebSocket API documentation to make sure I understand the different methods for sending data to the server.

An up-to-date hardening guide could be useful, but I'm not sure if that's the most critical element for automating the process. I'll need to think this through carefully.

Improving user acceptance? That's a nice-to-have, but the real benefit is catching vulnerabilities early. Option D is the way to go, no doubt about it.

Haha, reducing application development costs? That's a good one! Security is an investment, not a cost-saving measure. I'll go with option D.

Option B seems incorrect. Addressing threats later in the SDLC is actually a drawback, not a benefit. Threat modeling helps shift security to the left, which is the way to go.
