A computer threat is a possibility of danger that might harm the vulnerability of a computer system and breach the security to cause damage. It can have an intentional cause like hacking or an accidental cause of natural disaster or computer malfunction. ISO 27005 states that a threat is a potential cause of incidents that may harm an organization or a system. The NIST describes the term as – “Any circumstance or event with the potential to adversely impact organizational operations (including mission, functions, image, or reputation), organizational assets, or individuals through an information system via unauthorized access, destruction, disclosure, modification of information, and/or denial of service. Also, the potential for a threat-source to successfully exploit a particular information system vulnerability.”
