Workshop on Education in Computer Security (WECS) 7The presentation of Information Protection material can be improved in two important ways. First, if the
material is arranged in a systematic/scientific fashion it can show how all the various pieces fit together
and it can also demonstrate completeness by showing that all threats are addressed. Second, if each
protection technique is preceded by a clear description of the threat that it addresses learning is
significantly enhanced because the protection technique is motivated. This paper presents an
information threat model that 1) arranges the material in a scientific/systematic fashion and 2) facilitates
a threat-first presentation of Information Protection techniques
