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.

An increase in phishingcampaigns in the Dutch healthcare sector
2020 was onmiskenbaar het jaar van Corona. COVID-19 heeft niet alleen haar weerslag gehad op het sociale verkeer, maar ook op het digitale. Cybercriminelen hebben hun werkwijze aangepast en maakten misbruik van de pandemie. Zo zag Z-CERT een toename van phishingcampagnes; een aanval die is gericht op het buitmaken van inloggegevens van systemen of andere gevoelige informatie. Actoren achter de phishingmails misbruikten de pandemie om ontvangers over te halen te klikken op een malafide link. De phishingmails hadden onderwerpen als; vaccins, medisch onderzoek, beschermingsmiddelen zoals gezichtsmaskers en facturen gerelateerd aan COVID-19. De effectiviteit van deze campagnes is in de Nederlandse zorgsector gelukkig beperkt gebleven.
