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.

It is necessary to increase awareness and understanding on cyber threats in the aviation industry
With the adoption of new technologies in the aviation industry, new cyber risks emerge. Therefore, increasing awareness and understanding on such cyber risks is necessary, as well as providing individuals with the correct tools to manage cyber risks. This may help aviation stakeholders in making informed and more effective decisions. Consequently it can foster a stronger culture of cyber resilience.

Challenges confronting the aviation industry (regarding security awareness and competence):
- Increasing awareness and understanding of cyber risks relative to the adoption of emerging technologies, and the impact on critical systems.
- Helping aviation stakeholders in making informed – and more effective – decisions related to cyber risks.
- The need to increase understanding and awareness of cybersecurity risks in this industry
The goal of this community is to help promote a secure and resilient aviation ecosystem, enabling participants to transfer their industry learnings and best practices across all segments of the aviation industry that operate critical systems.
As Willis Towers Watson and ESI Thought Lab emphasized in 2019, “Leaders in cybersecurity are devoting significant resources towards protecting IT and risk functions within their organizations against external threats, but employee processes and training as well as corporate culture play a more integral role than many realize.”
Recommendation for collective action
Foster a stronger culture of cyber resilience across the industry, including greater integration of operational and cyber skill sets within the industry. A common understanding of cyber culture within organizations and across the industry can improve stakeholders’ ability to:
– Address the perception gap between employees, IT and Cybersecurity departments and the C-Suite, on who owns the issue and where accountability and responsibility lie
– Make sure individuals are equipped with the tools to manage cyber risks with the same level of confidence that they manage other risks
– Ensure emerging leading practices become part of the standard set of board competencies
– Align and embed desired behaviors into wider organization culture, rather than solely through point-in-time training that is often forgotten
