STRIDE threat modeling is a structured technique to identify and categorize security threats during system design. You should use it for threat modeling sessions, security architecture reviews, and risk assessment documentation to ensure comprehensive threat coverage.

To identify STRIDE threats, apply STRIDE category mappings to your system model to systematically uncover vulnerabilities. This process uses threat enumeration templates to structure your analysis and build a comprehensive threat catalog for your design.

Map mitigations to STRIDE threat categories by following the included mitigation guidance after enumerating threats. This ensures each identified risk category has a corresponding security control documented directly within your risk assessment outputs.

Yes, you can use this approach for security design reviews and risk documentation. It applies directly to threat modeling sessions and provides structured templates that help formalize risk enumeration and mitigation strategies in your security architecture reviews.

The best way to enumerate risks during a threat modeling session is to use structured threat enumeration templates. Applying STRIDE category mappings ensures comprehensive threat coverage while systematically strengthening system security across all architectural components.
