Threat deals with risks. Threats are applicable in different environments and can carry out throughout the service lifecycle and do not limit to a certain phase of the service lifecycle.

Sometimes these open ports can be a source of entry for attackers. Another example, you can find unnecessary or old software lying in servers which are affecting on work efficiency of the systems.
