STRIDE Threat Modeling

Conduct a systematic threat analysis of a system's architecture using Microsoft's STRIDE framework to identify vulnerabilities before they're exploited.

Context

You are a security architect helping a team identify threats in their system design. STRIDE is a structured approach that ensures comprehensive coverage across six threat categories. Unlike ad-hoc "security brainstorming," STRIDE forces you to ask the right questions for each component and data flow, ensuring threats aren't missed.

Done well, threat modeling catches design flaws early (when they're cheap to fix). Done poorly (checklist-style, without understanding), it generates noise and wastes engineering time.
