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.

A honeypot or cybertrap is a computer or computer system intended to mimic likely targets of cyberattacks to lure cybercriminals. In general, a honeypot contains data that appears to be valuable for hackers. Honeypots are set-up to appear to be vulnerable in order to lure these hackers in. If a hacker attacks a honeypot, by using for example viruses, malware or ransomware, the impact and the ways in which the malicious code operates can be monitored. Also, the source of the threat can be collected. Honeypots therefore provide the opportunity for new software development as a form of countermeasure. Also, the threat level can be determined and the effectiveness of countermeasures can be tested.
A difference can be made between two types of honeypots, server- and client honeypots. Server honeypots host a vulnerable application, such as a website, and wait for attacks to happen. Normally, this application is monitored and contained in a separated part of the website. On the other hand, client honeypots use applications, such as a web browser or an email program, to actively seek for viruses to attack the system. Honeytokens are files on connected computersystems that are attractive for hackers that already gained access to a system. The files (or access token, e-mailadres, URL, fake account) are monitored by a detection system.
