The letters in STRIDE threat model represent Spoofing of identity, Tampering with data, Repudiation, Information disclosure, Denial of service, and Elevation of privilege. The other options are simply mixed up or incorrect versions of the same.

Interoperability is an important characteristic.
Definition: Interoperability
Interoperability is the ability of a system or a product to work with other systems or products without special effort on the part of the customer.

There are three, commonly accepted forms of Controls:
Administrative-These are the laws, regulations, policies, practices and guidelines that govern the overall requirements and controls for an Information Security or other operational risk program. For example, a law or regulation may require merchants and financial institutions to protect and implement controls for customer account data to prevent identity theft. The business, in order to comply with the law or regulation, may adopt policies and procedures laying out the internal requirements for protecting this data, which requirements are a form of control.
Logical -These are the virtual, application and technical controls (systems and software), such as firewalls, antivirus software, encryption and maker/checker application routines.
Physical -Whereas a firewall provides a "logical" key to obtain access to a network, a "physical" key to a door can be used to gain access to an office space or storage room. Other examples of physical controls are video surveillance systems, gates and barricades, the use of guards or other personnel to govern access to an office, and remote backup facilities.

Remember that CCM is a security framework and does not include any methodology The Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix(CCM) is an essential and up-to-date security controls framework that is addressed to the cloud community and stakeholders. A fundamental richness of the CCM is its ability to provide mapping and cross relationships with the main industry-accepted security

Although other process are part of overall security strategy proper patch management plays key role in keeping control on system vulnerabilities.
