Abstract

As privacy moves from a predominantly compliance-oriented approach to one that is risk-based, privacy risk modeling has taken on increased importance. While a variety of innovative pre-existing options are available for privacy consequences and a few for vulnerabilities, privacy threat models, particularly ones focused on attacks (as opposed to threat actors) remain relatively scarce. To address this gap and facilitate more sophisticated privacy risk management of increasingly complex systems, MITRE has developed the Pattern and Action Nomenclature Of Privacy Threats In Context (PANOPTIC™). By providing an empirically-driven taxonomy of privacy threat activities and actions – as well as contextual elements – to support environmental and system-specific threat modeling, PANOPTIC is intended to do for privacy practitioners what MITRE ATT&CK® has done for security practitioners. This presentation discusses the underpinnings and provides an overview of PANOPTIC and its use.
