- Trend snippet: A twofold solution is necessary in order to secure a company from cyber threats
Trends in Security Information
The HSD Trendmonitor is designed to provide access to relevant content on various subjects in the safety and security domain, to identify relevant developments and to connect knowledge and organisations. The safety and security domain encompasses a vast number of subjects. Four relevant taxonomies (type of threat or opportunity, victim, source of threat and domain of application) have been constructed in order to visualize all of these subjects. The taxonomies and related category descriptions have been carefully composed according to other taxonomies, European and international standards and our own expertise.
In order to identify safety and security related trends, relevant reports and HSD news articles are continuously scanned, analysed and classified by hand according to the four taxonomies. This results in a wide array of observations, which we call ‘Trend Snippets’. Multiple Trend Snippets combined can provide insights into safety and security trends. The size of the circles shows the relative weight of the topic, the filters can be used to further select the most relevant content for you.

A twofold solution is necessary in order to secure a company from cyber threats
Outsourcing cybersecurity
Technology that works well, requires specialist knowledge and experience from the user. It is therefore difficult for an entrepreneur to use this technology himself. According to EYE, the best solution for small and medium-sized businesses is in twofold. On the one hand, an entrepreneur can get started with simple, often free security measures, such as enabling two-step authentication for e-mail and setting up password leak alerts. On the other hand, it could be considered to outsource cyber security to a specialized company and to conclude a cyber insurance contract. “There are plenty of solutions that work well and offer good alarms, but you need experts for that. The experts look at the alarms, know when there is a threat and how to act accordingly. Cyber insurance can cover the costs of the specialized company if an incident still occurs, because 100% security does not exist in the digital domain.” Outsourcing this type of expertise will, according to EYE, in time be just as common as hiring bookkeepers, accountants and lawyers.
