STRIDE is a model for identifying computer security threats [1] developed by Praerit Garg and Loren Kohnfelder at Microsoft. [2] It provides a mnemonic for security threats in six categories. [3] The threats are: Spoofing; Tampering; Repudiation; Information disclosure (privacy breach or data leak) Denial of service; Elevation of privilege [4]
Examples of this strategy include using anti-spam techniques, using CAPTCHA and other human presence detection techniques, and using DOS-based defense (protection from Denial-of-service attack). This is a supporting strategy for boundary protection and information system monitoring.
Damage – how bad would an attack be? Reproducibility – how easy is it to reproduce the attack? Exploitability – how much work is it to launch the attack? Affected users – how many people will be impacted? Discoverability – how easy is it to discover the threat? The DREAD name comes from the initials of the five categories listed.
