We continue the "Epic Failures in DevSecOps" series by speaking with Edwin Kwan on his chapter, "Threat Modeling - A Disaster Story". Edwin is Application and Software Security Team Lead at Tyro Payments. In our discussion, we talk about the three things he learned through his "Epic Failure":

-- Demonstrate value at the buy-in
-- Get early feedback
-- Automate as much as possible

During our discussion, we talk at length about the role of security and how to begin implementing automation at the earliest stages of the development process.
