DREAD is part of a system for risk-assessing computer security threats that was formerly used at Microsoft. [1] It provides a mnemonic for risk rating security threats using five categories. Categories
Once the threat model is completed, security subject matter experts develop a detailed analysis of the identified threats. Finally, appropriate security controls can be enumerated. This methodology is intended to provide an attacker-centric view of the application and infrastructure from which defenders can develop an asset-centric mitigation ...
