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.

A pandemic is an epidemic of an infectious disease that has spread across a large region, for instance multiple continents or worldwide, affecting a substantial number of people. A disease or condition is not a pandemic, merely because it is widespread or kills many people; it must also be infectious. For instance, cancer is responsible for many deaths, but is not considered a pandemic because the disease is not contagious (easily transmittable) and not even simply infectious. A widespread endemic disease with a stable number of infected people is also not a pandemic. Widespread endemic diseases with a stable number of infected people such as recurrences of seasonal influenza are generally excluded as they occur simultaneously in large regions of the globe rather than being spread worldwide.
Basic strategies to combat pandemics include containment (including contact tracing, vaccinations), mitigation (slow the spread of the disease and mitigate its effects on society through hygiene, self-quarantine, social distancing, limiting social gathering) and suppression (more extreme long-term non-pharmaceutical interventions including stringent population-wide social distancing, home isolation of cases, household quarantine, lockdown). Concerns in fighting pandemics include antibiotic-resistance, international travel and overpopulation.
