In which box is Threat Capability represented?

Threat Capability is represented in Box 5 of the FAIR model. This box specifically focuses on the assessment of the capabilities of potential threat actors who could exploit vulnerabilities within an organization’s information assets. In the context of FAIR, understanding threat capability is crucial for evaluating the likelihood of a threat event occurring.

Capability encompasses several aspects, such as the resources available to the threat actor, their expertise, and their motivations. A high threat capability indicates a greater potential for successful exploitation of vulnerabilities, whereas a low threat capability suggests that the likelihood of a successful attack is reduced. Thus, analyzing this aspect is key to understanding and quantifying risk within the FAIR framework.

By placing Threat Capability in Box 5, the FAIR model allows for a clear visualization and assessment of how external factors contribute to risk, allowing organizations to make informed decisions regarding their risk management strategies.
