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.

Disinformation is used to spread a sense of disunity amongst the Dutch population
Desinformatie ingezet om verdeeldheid te zaaien
Technologische ontwikkelingen vergemakkelijken de toegang tot en verspreiding van informatie. Verschillende actoren maken hier misbruik van. Statelijke actoren verspreiden desinformatie om de EU en andere Westerse multilaterale instellingen te verzwakken. Niet-statelijke actoren, zoals QAnon, streven onder andere polarisatie, maatschappelijke ontwrichting en financieel gewin na. Technologie.n als deepfakes en voice cloning bemoeilijken het herkennen van nepnieuws. De coronacrisis gaf een impuls aan de verspreiding van desinformatie. In 2020 werd er bijvoorbeeld desinformatie verspreid over Zwarte Piet en de vermeende schadelijkheid van 5G-netwerken. Het laatste leidde tot meerdere brandstichtingen.
