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.

Hardware vulnerabilities with (potentially) major consequences announced
Het afgelopen jaar liet een verdere groei zien in het aantal kwetsbaarheden in hardware. Een bepaald type aanval (transient execution attack) leidde ook dit jaar weer tot wijzigingen in alle Intel processoren en alle populaire besturingssystemen. SSDs met hardware encryptie bevatten zulke ernstige kwetsbaarheden dat de encryptie geen enkele waarde heeft. Zelfs nieuw op de markt gekomen geheugenchips (DRAM) blijken nog bekende kwetsbaarheden te hebben. Vooral de ‘DRAM-kwetsbaarheid’ is zorgwekkend, omdat daar geen oplossing voor is en deze nog jaren aanwezig zal blijven. Alternatieven zijn er op dit moment niet.
