What is the difference between a threat and a risk? This course illustrates the close relationship between these two concepts, highlights the factors that must be considered when assessing risk, and notes the distinction between initial and secondary risk. Alongside this is presented a thorough explanation of threat actors (who they are and what motivates and enables them), at-risk individuals (the roles they play and the high-risk groups to which they belong), and proxies (their various types and how they are used to facilitate privacy violations). Lastly, students will learn about privacy violation consequences, including normative and tangible harms.
