FAIR STRIDE: Strategically Taking Application Security Beyond Compliance
This white paper introduces FAIR STRIDE, a framework developed by Ping Identity that combines Microsoft’s STRIDE threat modeling with the FAIR quantitative risk analysis model to move application security beyond compliance. It replaces qualitative severity ratings with measurable financial impact using Monte Carlo simulations to estimate loss frequency and magnitude. FAIR STRIDE generates Loss Exceedance Curves (LECs) that visually represent risk and guide data-driven decisions. This approach enables organizations to prioritize controls, measure progress, and align security investments with business goals for a more strategic, financially grounded security posture.
