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.

BEC fraud is increasingly occurring in the Netherlands
CEO- and digital invoice fraud, also known as BEC-Fraud, is a specific type of fraud which is not known by many people. However, this type of fraud is on the top three forms of cybercrime with the most financial damage. According to the FBI, the financial damage between 2016 and 2019 was 26 billion-dollar worldwide. BEC fraud also increasingly more often occurs in the Netherlands. To oppose these cybercriminals, The Dutch public prosecution service, the cybercrime team of the Hague police force, The Hague Security Delta, Fraudehelpdesk, knowledge institutions, businesses and banks have started a collaboration. The purpose of this collaboration has been to create new insights into the modus operandi of these criminals, so they can be stopped.
