STRIDE

STRIDE is a framework used to identify and categorize potential security threats to a system. It stands for Spoofing (pretending to be someone else), Tampering (altering data or code), Repudiation (denying actions), Information Disclosure (data leaks), Denial of Service (disrupting access), and Elevation of Privilege (gaining unauthorized access). By analyzing each category, developers can find vulnerabilities and implement safeguards to protect the system from various attacks. Think of it as a structured way to foresee different kinds of security risks and address them proactively.
