STRIDE (security)

STRIDE (security)

STRIDE is a system for classifying computer security threats used at Microsoft. It provides a mnemonic for security threats in six categories.

The threat categories are:

* Spoofing of user identity
* Tampering
* Repudiation
* Information disclosure (privacy breach)
* Denial of Service (D.o.S.)
* Elevation of privilege

The STRIDE name comes from the initials of the six threat categories listed. It was initially proposed for threat modeling, but is now used more broadly.
