Answer preview
Another threat agent is natural disasters, which attack by denying someone access to data centers, business premises, and stored files. Natural disasters that cause attacks to systems include lightning, earthquakes, fire, and water as they affect the ability to do business. These types of attacks are not common and can be addressed when coming up with security architecture. The other category of a threat agent is technological factors, which cause damage to hardware or software in a system. Most of these attacks are unintentional, but they pose great threats to a system. For example, most types of software are not fully tested for bugs, and they may have malicious programs that can affect a computer system.
