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.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Machine learning
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is generally regarded as a functional system that can mimic functions that are associated with human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, pattern recognition and problem solving. By feeding an AI-system data (for instance from sensors or human collected data) they can react independently. Machine Learning (ML) is associated with AI, because some AI systems can acquire new knowledge, thereby improving their overall performance and functionality. Techniques that are sometimes used in AI are neural networks and genetic algoritms.
AI and ML are already in use in a wide variety of domains, including the health sector, the military sector and the financial sector. In the military sector, experiments are conducted with the application of AI and ML in military machine. By using AI and ML, these military machines can analyse and select probable targets, and consequently gain more information and knowledge about selecting future targets. However, such experiments, where AI/ML machines can make independent decisions and gain additional information and knowledge without any human interference, raise ethical discussions about the use of AI and ML (sometimes negatively framed as ‘killer robots’). With the increasing development of AI, the implementation of ML in those systems, and the increased involvement of AI in our society, ethical issues are therefore taken into consideration. AI and ML are also used in cybersecurity, for instance recognising behavioral patterns of both humans, network traffic and machines to detect anomalies, adapting to threat factors, automating Security Operations Centres or collecting threat intelligence. Threat actors such as cybercriminals also use AI and ML to bypass security measures.
