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.

Decrease in traditional crime while the rate of cybercrime continues to increase
1.2 million victims More recently and closer to home, Van der Plas is observing the consequences of digital threats such as retail fraud, phishing and ransomware. ‘Studies by Statistics Netherlands show that over 1.2 million people in the Netherlands were victims of digital criminality last year. Young Internet users between 12 and 25 years of age were, with 12 per cent, the most frequent victims; of those aged 65 and over, by comparison, less than 4 per cent were victimised. We're seeing a decrease in traditional crime such as burglary and robbery while the rate of cybercrime continues to increase.’
