STRIDE/DREAD Threat Modeling

STRIDE/DREAD Threat Modeling is a Microsoft-developed methodology for systematically identifying and prioritizing security threats in software systems. STRIDE enumerates threat categories (Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, Elevation of Privilege), and DREAD scores threats by Damage, Reproducibility, Exploitability, Affected Users, and Discoverability.
