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.

Tools have the possibility to increase cyber resilience in OT environments
"I am particularly pleased to be able to offer a practical self-scan to organisations that use ICS or OT devices. There is great diversity in security maturity within the ICS domain. There are organisations that are very mature, but there are also organisations that need to significantly increase the digital resilience of their ICS landscape, but unfortunately lack the knowledge to do so. I hope that with this tool we can provide help to all of them."
Resilience of industrial control systems
The Security Check Proces Automation launches a week after the publication of the annual Cybersecurity Assessment Netherlands (CSBN) report, which again focuses on the vulnerability of the Dutch digital infrastructures. The check offers organisations a practical tool to fulfil the CSBN's call to increase cyber resilience and is the result of a unique partnership. This ICS partnership was born out of the ICS Security working group within the Cybersecurity Alliance in late 2019 and was formed to help organisations (small, large, critical and non-critical, private and public) selflessly raise awareness and provide them with concrete, applicable solutions to improve the cyber resilience of their industrial control systems.
The DTC, which supports entrepreneurs in the Netherlands in the field of digital security on behalf of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, facilitates the Security Check Process Automation via its website.
DTC Relationship Manager Jacco van der Kolk: "I am particularly pleased to be able to offer a practical self-scan to organisations that use ICS or OT devices. There is great diversity in security maturity within the ICS domain. There are organisations that are very mature, but there are also organisations that need to significantly increase the digital resilience of their ICS landscape, but unfortunately lack the knowledge to do so. I hope that with this tool we can provide help to all of them.
Practical tool
The business operations of most organisations today are heavily dependent on automation and control systems, and organisations are often not aware. With the current trend of digitalisation, this is increasing even further. Unfortunately, this also increases the chance of a cyber incident. The Security Check Process Automation allows organisations to quickly identify potential risks and the protective measures they can take against them. The security check, which can also be used without technical or IT knowledge, offers organisations a practical tool to increase their cyber resilience.
