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. If you have an addition, question or remark, drop us a line at info@securitydelta.nl.

Avoid Supply Chain Disruptions By Tooling Its Management
Supply chains are in a crisis of their own making. Globalization made supply chains longer, efficiency made them leaner, and cheap foreign labor propelled firms to pursue outsourcing and offshoring as a primary cost-cutting strategy. Not only do these strategies increase the risks of supply chain disruption, but given the right circumstances, they can also threaten the firm’s business and operating model.
Every strategic decision creates opportunity risk, that is, the tradeoff of sacrificing alternate paths when committing to an initiative. For even the most conservative decision makers, COVID-19 is forcing risk on them, as businesses consider how to return employees safely to the workplace. To facilitate the return to business, firms will deploy new technologies for health and safety. Understand that new technologies deployed for health and safety, new ways of working, or to meet federal, state, or country public safety requirements come with risks.8 Carefully evaluate the impact of those risks to identify potential consequences and balance new policies with best practices.
