## Threat Modeling Workflow

Identify and analyze security threats using STRIDE methodology.

### Workflow: Conduct Threat Model

1. Define system scope and boundaries:
   - Identify assets to protect
   - Map trust boundaries
   - Document data flows
2. Create data flow diagram:
   - External entities (users, services)
   - Processes (application components)
   - Data stores (databases, caches)
   - Data flows (APIs, network connections)
3. Apply STRIDE to each DFD element (see [STRIDE per Element Matrix](#stride-per-element-matrix) below)
4. Score risks using DREAD:
   - Damage potential (1-10)
   - Reproducibility (1-10)
   - Exploitability (1-10)
   - Affected users (1-10)
   - Discoverability (1-10)
5. Prioritize threats by risk score
6. Define mitigations for each threat
7. Document in threat model report
8. **Validation:** All DFD elements analyzed; STRIDE applied; threats scored; mitigations mapped

### STRIDE Threat Categories

| Category | Security Property | Mitigation Focus |
|----------|-------------------|------------------|
| Spoofing | Authentication | MFA, certificates, strong auth |
| Tampering | Integrity | Signing, checksums, validation |
| Repudiation | Non-repudiation | Audit logs, digital signatures |
| Information Disclosure | Confidentiality | Encryption, access controls |
| Denial of Service | Availability | Rate limiting, redundancy |
