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.

Cybercrime risks are increasing, especially on the dark web
With smart technology, such as the Dark Web Monitor, worldwide collaboration in research and innovation into the dark web and financial cybercrime, TNO and CFLW take the fight against cybercrime to the next level.
In this time of global lockdowns, and with an increasing part of our lives taking place via the internet, cybercrime risks are increasing. This is especially true for the shady dark web, with cryptocurrencies as the financial driver behind those crimes. With smart technology, such as the Dark Web Monitor, worldwide collaboration in research and innovation into the dark web and financial cybercrime, TNO and CFLW take the fight against cybercrime to the next level.
Thresholds to commit cybercrime are still lowering
Cybercrime does not adhere to the traditional national borders. Criminal organizations operate across borders and in many countries at the same time.No time to waste for combating cybercrime. An example of a smart solution is the Dark Web Monitor, an open source intelligence source. Van der Weide: “TNO developed a proof-of-concept. On the basis of a license agreement, cooperation partner CFLW Cyber Strategies brings the Dark Web Monitor to an operationally usable and managed solution.”
