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.

Cyber situational awareness is becoming more important for military missions
The NCIA has set up a project to optimise the operational awareness of commanders during a deployment or mission. Up to now, sources such as intelligence, logistics and CIS from the traditional domains of air, land and sea have been used for this purpose. A fourth source is increasingly important: cyber situational awareness. This is still in development.
“At the technical level, some Cyber Security Situational Awareness solutions exist, often based on limited CIS information, like assets, vulnerabilities, and software portfolios. However, these solutions do not assess the impacts of mission requirements, mission threats, and interoperability between coalition partners at both the technical and operational level. The correlation of the network data with the mission metadata should result in a product, that we call the Recognized Cyber Picture (RCyberP).”

Cyber situational awareness for Military Commanders
The NCIA has set up a project to optimise the operational awareness of commanders during a deployment or mission. Up to now, sources such as intelligence, logistics and CIS from the traditional domains of air, land and sea have been used for this purpose. A fourth source is increasingly important: cyber situational awareness. This is still in development. NCIA approached The Hague Security Delta (HSD) in order to facilitate the development of a useful ‘Recognized Cyber Picture’ for commanders in the field.
View on the mission area
Frederic Jordan elaborates on the needs for such a capability “At the technical level, some Cyber Security Situational Awareness solutions exist, often based on limited CIS information, like assets, vulnerabilities, and software portfolios. However, these solutions do not assess the impacts of mission requirements, mission threats, and interoperability between coalition partners at both the technical and operational level. The correlation of the network data with the mission metadata should result in a product, that we call the Recognized Cyber Picture (RCyberP).” According to Jordan, the new system has to help Commanders with their decision making process in support of the mission; this process is facilitated through the provisioning of information from the cyber domain. This information must be delivered clearly and concisely to enable accurate comprehension of the current situation. An excess of information leads to confusion and inaccuracy. The new RCyberP-system, therefore, needs to filter and deliver a workable output. RCyberP-information should also represent intelligence data, coupled in a meaningful manner, to provide the Commander operational Cyber Situational Awareness to be useful in meeting mission objectives.
The RCyberP-system does not stand on its own, but is part of a system of systems that help mission Commanders achieve Situational Awareness of the mission area that is as accurate and complete as possible.
