Microsoft DREAD

Microsoft DREAD. DREAD is a risk assessment system developed by Microsoft to help IT security professionals evaluate the severity of security threats and vulnerabilities. It is used to perform a risk analysis by using a scale of 10 points to assess the severity of security threats and vulnerabilities. With this, we calculate the risk of a threat or vulnerability based on five main factors:

  • Damage Potential
  • Reproducibility
  • Exploitability
  • Affected Users
  • Discoverability
