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.

Identity & access management technology
Identity and Access Management (IAM), is the organisational process for identifying, authenticating and authorising individuals or groups of people to have access to applications, systems or networks by associating user rights and restrictions with established identities. IAM is a framework of policies and technologies for ensuring that the proper people in an enterprise have the appropriate access to technology resources. For identification, several technologies can be used such as hardware tokens, name and password or biometrics (fingerprint, iris scan, facial recognition, etc.).
Identity and Access Management systems not only identify, authenticate, and authorise individuals who want to access a building, room or locker or will be utilising Information Technology (IT) resources, but also the hardware and applications employees need to access. IAM includes the management of descriptive information about the user and how and by whom that information can be accessed and modified. In addition to users, managed entities typically include hardware and network resources and even applications and datasets. Some of these actors have ‘privileged access’, they have more rights than standard. This goes for super user accounts, root accounts, administrative accounts, secure socket shell (SSH) keys and alike. Accounts with privileged access are wanted by cybercriminals and are often at the core of advanced attacks that disrupt business operations. Privileged Access Management (PAM) can be part of the cybersecurity strategy and may comprise tracking privileged activity, controlling Privileged User Access and managing account credentials amongst other.
Related Keywords: authentication, authorization, access control, 2-factor authentication, digital signatures, privileged identity management (PIM), privileged access security (PAS).
