hi ronish, my dear frnd in general threats are divided into two parts:internal and external but in more specific way they can be classified as:(1)communication & network threats (2) physical threats (1) communication & network threats include sniffing, poisoning (ARP & DNS) etc. (2)physical threats are again divided into two parts:hardware & software..hardware type include manufacturer error and natural disasters..software include viruses,worms etc etc. i also want to point out the most dangerous attacks: 1)DOS/DDOS(against availability) 2)social engg.(general but most dangerous) 3)man in the middle attack(against confidentiality) (its my opinion i don't know what other say on this but according to me these are the most dangerous attacks)
