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.

(Cyber)security awareness & training
Security skills, especially those related to awareness, can be improved through training. Many low impact intrusions, both physical and cyber, are difficult to notice and could continue for weeks or months. The chances that a mal-intentioned intruder captures critical information or technologies grow, the longer an intruder can operate undetected. Therefore, training is crucial in enhancing people’s early detection skills of cyber incidents as well as the skills to be aware of other security risks and detect threats.
There are many different forms in which a training can be taught, but generally a training entails either a classroom setting or a practical, simulated attack (or part thereof). Simulated phishing attacks to train cybersecurity awareness in staff have mixed results and need to be retrained often. In general, organisations find it difficult to train their staff, especially security staff, due to time constraints. It takes large surplus capacities to take several team members away for training whilst continuing day-to-day operations. Nevertheless, the effects of training security awareness often outweigh the costs involved.
