STRIDE is a model for identifying computer security threats [1] developed by Praerit Garg and Loren Kohnfelder at Microsoft. [2] It provides a mnemonic for security threats in six categories. [3] The threats are: Spoofing; Tampering; Repudiation; Information disclosure (privacy breach or data leak) Denial of service; Elevation of privilege [4]
The Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification or CAPEC is a catalog of known cyber security attack patterns [1] to be used by cyber security professionals to prevent attacks. [ 2 ]
Some security experts feel that including the "Discoverability" element as the last D rewards security through obscurity, so some organizations have either moved to a DREAD-D "DREAD minus D" scale (which omits Discoverability) or always assume that Discoverability is at its maximum rating.
Since this is an attack pattern, the recommended mitigation for the attack can be listed here in brief. Ideally, this will point the user to a more thorough mitigation pattern for this class of attack. Related Patterns; This section will have a few subsections such as Related Patterns, Mitigation Patterns, Security Patterns, and Architectural ...
An example of a physical security measure: a metal lock on the back of a personal computer to prevent hardware tampering. Computer security (also cybersecurity, digital security, or information technology (IT) security) is the protection of computer software, systems and networks from threats that can lead to unauthorized information disclosure, theft or damage to hardware, software, or data ...
Traffic-flow security is the use of measures that conceal the presence and properties of valid messages on a network to prevent traffic analysis. This can be done by operational procedures or by the protection resulting from features inherent in some cryptographic equipment.
An Inference Attack is a data mining technique performed by analyzing data in order to illegitimately gain knowledge about a subject or database. [1] A subject's sensitive information can be considered as leaked if an adversary can infer its real value with a high confidence. [2]
Security patterns can be applied to achieve goals in the area of security. All of the classical design patterns have different instantiations to fulfill some information security goal: such as confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Additionally, one can create a new design pattern to specifically achieve some security goal.
