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.

Investments and innovations are needed in order to be ready for the forensic demands of tomorrow
"For the NFI, investing in R&D and innovation is essential to be and remain state-of-the-art," says Dr Annemieke de Vries, Director of Science and Technology at the NFI. Developments in the forensic world are moving very fast. "Look at the increased digitisation and new techniques for encrypting information, for example. To be ready for the forensic demands of tomorrow, we need to invest and innovate continuously. TU Delft is an important partner for the NFI, because (new) technology plays an important role in forensic research."
A step further than in the past
TU Delft and the NFI will jointly explore new research areas, in order to conduct pioneering research together, to drive innovation and to attract talent. For example, the fields of Data Science and the (ethical) use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are subjects being explored. The influence of new technological developments and increased digitalisation on forensic issues requires an even stronger joint effort on the part of the NFI and Delft University of Technology in knowledge development and application than was previously the case.
