STRIDE (Threat Modeling Framework)

STRIDE is a systematic approach used to identify potential security threats in a system. It stands for six categories: Spoofing (pretending to be someone else), Tampering (unauthorized changes), Repudiation (denying actions), Information Disclosure (data leaks), Denial of Service (disrupting service), and Elevation of Privilege (gaining higher access). By analyzing a system through these categories, developers can spot vulnerabilities and implement measures to protect the system from attacks, helping to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of its data and services.
