STRIDE threat modeling is a structured approach to identify security threats across software systems, and you should use it during architecture reviews and security design sessions to systematically map threats to assets.

You document system security threats using STRIDE by applying reusable patterns to enumerate threats across external entities, processes, data stores, and data flows, then capturing risk assessments and mitigations in structured templates.

Yes, you can use STRIDE patterns for architecture reviews and security documentation, as they provide structured guidance to enumerate threats, assess risks, and define mitigations across all system interactions.

STRIDE threat modeling covers data stores and external entities, mapping specific threat categories to each component type to ensure comprehensive security analysis across all data flows and process boundaries.

The best way to map threats to assets during a security design review is to use structured STRIDE threat modeling patterns, which systematically categorize risks for each system component and guide mitigation planning.

Threat modeling with STRIDE requires no specific security tools or dependencies, as it provides reusable templates and structured guidance that can be applied directly to your system architecture and security documentation.
