A threat model is a list of the most probable threats to your security and privacy endeavors. In this short guide we'll cover the questions you'll need to ask to create this list.
2. Creating a threat model
To identify what could happen to the things you value and determine from whom you need to protect them, you should answer these five questions:
- What do I want to protect?
- Who do I want to protect it from?
- How likely is it that I will need to protect it?
- How bad are the consequences if I fail?
- How much trouble am I willing to go through to try to prevent potential consequences?
