Threat classification is extremely important for individuals and organizations, as it is an important step towards realization of information security. In fact, with the progress of information technologies (IT) security becomes a major challenge for organizations which are vulnerable to many types of insiders and outsiders security threats. The paper deals with threats classification models in order to help managers to define threat characteristics and then protect their assets from them. Existing threats classification models are non complete and present non orthogonal threats classes. The aim of this paper is to suggest a scalable and complete approach that classifies security threat in orthogonal way.
