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.

Patch & vulnerability management, IT service management
Cyber attackers are constantly on the lookout for vulnerabilities in systems or organisations that they can exploit to launch a successful attack. Patch & Vulnerability management refers to the processes an organisation sets up to prevent this. Vulnerability management aims to detect all the vulnerabilities an organisation has and find solutions on how to make them less vulnerable. Technologies such as vulnerability scanners can support this activity.
Patch management is a subset of vulnerability management. Software constantly improves and thus constantly experiences new backdoors and vulnerabilities that attackers try to exploit. Software developers know this and as soon as a vulnerability is discovered, will create a ‘patch’ to fix that. The responsibility of implementing the patch is often the responsibility of the user of software or administrator and thus requires a management policy to make sure it happens whenever necessary, but not automatically to prevent the risk of running systems being negatively impacted by an update.
Patch & vulnerability management and information security management should be part of information technology service management to keep assets secure and running. Regular software updates are part of this. Several IT management frameworks exists, such as ITIL, ITSM, COBIT and ISO 20000
Related Keywords: prevention, IT Service Management (ITSM), security vulnerabilities, bugfixes, lifecycle management, hotfix, security patch, Security Lifecycle Management
