likelihood definition
likelihood means the probability that something will occur. Likelihood is generally expressed qualitatively or quantitatively.
likelihood means the chance of something happening, whether defined, measured or determined objectively or subjectively, qualitatively or quantitatively, and described using general terms or mathematically such as a probability or a frequency over a given time period;

likelihood. This factor captures the (expected) probability that a threat in question is actually carried out. This captures the difficulty to mount a cer- tain attack, and the probability that an adversary gets caught. Also, this factor reflects the uncertainty in our belief that a threat will become a reality. For example, when a certain threat requires technical advances that are not expected before the next five years, then the likelihood is lower than for an already emerging threat that can be observed in the wild. • Obliviousness: This factor captures the lack of awareness of the public and the research community for a threat. The higher the obliviousness, the more likely it is that a threat will not be addressed in a timely fashion before it is realised. As a result, there is the need to generate more awareness about a threat. • R&D Needs: This factor captures the extent to which new research and de- velopment efforts are needed to mitigate a threat. In some cases, effective mitigation efforts are known, but they would require proper policy or invest- ment to put into action. In this case, the R&D needs would be considered low. For each threat, we evaluated all four factors and assigned one of the three classes low (L), medium (M), or high (H), respectively. Then, we evaluated each threat holistically (based on all factors) and determined the final priority class. In the following, we first provide the entire list of threats, grouped by the three priority classes. Then, we describe and discuss every threat into more detail. For this discussion, we used the eight topical categories. # Threat Description High Priority Impact Likely Oblivious R&D 1 Threats due to parallelism M M H M 2 Threats due to scale H M H M 3 Underground economy structures support H H L H 4 Mobile device malware H H M H 5 Threats related to social networks H H M H Medium Pr # Threat Description iority Impact Likely Oblivious R&D 6 Routing infrastructure H H L M 7 Denial of service H H L M 8 Wireless communication H H M M 9 Unforeseen cascading effects H M H H 10 False sensor data H M H M 11 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ubiquitous sensors M M M M 12 User interface M H M H 13 The insider threat H M M M 14 System maintainability and verifia- bility M H M M 15 Hidden functionality M M H M 16 New vectors to reach victims M H M H 17 Sensors and RFID M H M H 18 Advanced malware M H M M 19 Virtualization and cloud computing H M H M 20 Retrofitting security to legacy sys- tems M M M L 21 Next generation networks H H ...
