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.

Detecting infected IoT-devices in the Netherlands is essential
The number of connected devices (IoT) is growing rapidly. To allow entrepreneurs and consumers to optimally profit from this, it is essential for these products that they can be used in a secure and trusted manner. That is why TU Delft will start detecting infected IoT-devices in the Netherlands. Producers of these smart devices and consumers are then actively informed regarding the removal of the infection.
Mona Keijzer: “Increasingly more devices, an estimated 30 billion in 2020, are connected to the Internet. Smart thermostats, refrigerators, toys and tv’s: they are attractive to consumers and offer opportunities to entrepreneurs to make more profit. Handling these devices in a secure manner does not come naturally. If you don't, you are at risk or your infected device could be used to obtain data and even money. That is why knowledge institutions, businesses and the government are going to cooperate to improve this.”
