STRIDE threat modeling identifies security risks by evaluating system architectures against Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, and Elevation of Privilege categories. It generates categorized threat enumerations with suggested mitigations and risk scores based on impact and likelihood.

The best way to run STRIDE analysis on web and API components is to use a structured methodology that walks through each STRIDE category with targeted questions. This approach produces a prioritized threat list, suggested mitigations, and risk scores for your architecture review.

Yes, you can use data flow diagrams (DFD) to find trust boundary crossings during threat modeling. Analyzing DFDs helps automate threat enumeration and systematically identifies where data crosses trust boundaries, exposing potential security vulnerabilities across infrastructure components.

You generate compliance evidence and risk scores by performing a structured security review that evaluates threats based on impact and likelihood. This produces prioritized remediation lists and categorized threat documentation suitable for compliance evidence generation.

You need a threat model template for security architecture reviews to ensure you do not miss authentication, integrity, confidentiality, or availability risks. Templates provide targeted questions and examples that guide a repeatable, structured threat enumeration process across your system components.
