Future-Back Threat Modeling (FBTM) is a predictive security framework that starts with envisioned future threat states and works backward to uncover assumptions, gaps, blind spots, and vulnerabilities in current defense architectures. It aims to reveal both known unknowns and unknown unknowns, including emerging tactics, techniques, and procedures, thereby improving the predictability of adversary behavior under future uncertainty. By anticipating future threats such as AI, information warfare, and supply chain attacks, FBTM helps security leaders make informed decisions today to build more resilient security postures for the future.

The paper investigates whether large language models (LLMs) can perform structured security reasoning in cybersecurity decision-making. By testing LLMs on defense selection over attack graphs from real-world threat scenarios, the study finds that LLMs can produce coherent strategies when the attack-graph structure is explicitly provided, yet their performance is fragile, highly sensitive to prompt framing, and deteriorates with increasing graph complexity. Additionally, LLM-generated solvers recover the correct high-level formulation but scale poorly compared to specialized solvers.
