STRIDE (threat modeling)

STRIDE is a threat modeling framework used to identify potential security threats in a system. It categorizes threats into six types: Spoofing (impersonating someone), Tampering (altering data), Repudiation (denying actions taken), Information Disclosure (exposing sensitive information), Denial of Service (disrupting access), and Elevation of Privilege (gaining unauthorized access). By systematically evaluating each category, organizations can better understand vulnerabilities and implement strategies to protect their systems and data from various types of attacks. STRIDE helps ensure comprehensive security planning during software development and system design.
