The biggest threat of security are PEOPLE. The miners which "control" the transactions can put their force together (to become §centralized") and exploit this to manipulate transactions (very unlikely that it happens at the current time, but still it's not impossible). However for this to happen, they have to gain control of 51% of the computing power of all miners.
In theory, obtaining a majority of network power could potentially enable massive double spending and the ability to prevent transaction confirmations, among other potentially acts.
Even if some leaders in the industry believe that possessing 51% of network power is not enough to enable an all-out attack, it's still a risk to keep in mind.
It's critical to keep the network decentralized as much as possible.
For instance, you can see here the actual distribution of mining pools:
