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.

Cybersecurity hardware focuses on protecting systems against the vulnerabilities at the physical layer with specific devices. Hardware-based cybersecurity products can be used to detect, block and record cyberattacks in a broad range of application areas, from vehicles and factory robots to consumer devices and IT networks. It is a generally accepted cybersecurity strategy to implement a layered security approach by compartmentalising or segmenting areas that have different trust levels. There is a variety of means to defend networks against external threats, such as firewalls (software-based), stand-alone networks (physical), or data diodes (hardware).
The data diode enables data transfer in a single direction. Data diode technology can provide cybersecurity while at the same time providing network connectivity. Data diodes traditionally serve to protect secrets and to protect assets. With this technology, there is no memory, settings or parameters that can be changed or hacked, those aspects give software solutions inherent weaknesses. A hardware security module (HSM) is another physical computing device that for instance safeguards and manages digital keys, performs encryption and decryption functions for digital signatures, strong authentication, and other cryptographic functions. These modules are hardware based and attached directly to a computer or network server, they contain one or more secure cryptoprocessor chips.
