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.

CSIRT/CERT refers to the computer security incident response team, a group of information security experts responsible for the protection against, detection of and response to an organisation’s cybersecurity incidents. A CERT may focus on resolving incidents such as data breaches and denial-of-service attacks as well as providing alerts and incident handling guidelines. A CERT often represents a particular community, conducts public awareness campaigns and engage in research aimed at improving security systems within the community.
Although CSIRT and CERT are often used intertwined, there is a distinct difference between the two. The term CERT is typically reserved for the predominant computer security organisations authorised by government authorities, while a CSIRT can be the general incident response team in any organisation. The National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) is the official national CERT of the Netherlands and is the main information point. The NCSC and the Netherlands have acknowledged several other communities as CERTs or OKTT (objectief kenbaar tot taak) that represent a specific sector, e.g., Z-Cert (hospitals), DefCERT (defense) and several CERTS for universities (including SURFcert) and large financial organisations. The CERT or OKTT indications allows the NCSC to share more valuable information about threats and vulnerabilities. Some organisations have an Information Security Operations Centre (ISOC or SOC) to operationally support the tasks of the CSIRT.
