What are some alternative threat modeling methodologies besides STRIDE and DREAD?

PASTA (risk-centric), Security Cards (brainstorming), and Persona non grata (attacker-focused) are common alternatives — STRIDE/DREAD aren't the only choices.

Alternative threat modeling methodologies beyond STRIDE/DREAD include:

  • PASTA - Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis (risk-centric)
  • Security Cards - card-based brainstorming approach
  • Persona non grata - attacker-focused approach
  • And many more...

Key insight: STRIDE/DREAD aren't the only options. Choose the methodology that fits your team's skills and project needs.
