Threat perception

Threat perception is the process by which individuals or organizations recognize and interpret potential risks or dangers that could harm them or their interests. It involves assessing situations, identifying possible sources of harm—such as a physical attack, cyber intrusion, or natural disaster—and determining the level of severity and likelihood. This understanding influences how we respond, whether by taking precautionary measures or initiating defensive actions. Essentially, it's our awareness and evaluation of what could pose a threat, helping us make informed decisions to protect ourselves and our assets.
