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.

Information leakage
An information leakage can be described as sharing information, either intentionally or unintentionality with unauthorised entities or actors. An information leakage can occur unintentionally when for example working papers are lost, addresses are shared by accident, information is send to the wrong recipient, or a laptop is left unattended. Intentional forms can for example be caused by a disgruntled employee or whistle-blower that take proprietary information for their own benefit or share information with external organisations or the press.
A differentiation can be made between an information leakage and a data leakage, in the sense that information leakage is primarily related to the physical world, whilst a data leakage occurs online. Measures against leakage include access control, containment, encryption, intrusion detection and behavioural monitoring.
