Review:
Stride Threat Model
overall review score: 4.2
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
score is between 0 and 5
The STRIDE threat modeling approach is a systematic method used to identify and address potential security threats in software system designs. It categorizes threats into six types—Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, and Elevation of Privilege—allowing developers and security professionals to create more secure architectures by analyzing possible attack vectors throughout the development lifecycle.
