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 data breach or data leakage can occur when data from individuals, companies or other organisations, is spread or compromised, either by accident or intentionally. There is a distinct difference between a data breach and a data leakage. A data breach occurs from the outside, meaning that malicious hackers intentionally obtain data from (secure) actors. A data leakage occurs from the inside, meaning that data is intentionally or accidentally leaked to the outside (this can be by human error but also technical failure). A data breach or leakage may include various actors and entails small or large amounts of data and information. For example, a personal data breach includes personal data of an individual that is accessible without that individual’s consent. Another example can be found in a cloud data breach, where data from a companies’ cloud is accessed without authorization or is hacked by malicious actors. The consequence may be the unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to protected data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed (definition from ISO/IEC 27040).
A data breach or data leakage can be harmful for individuals, companies and organisations. The unauthorized access to for example someone’s personal data, newly developed technologies or a companies’ financial information can have detrimental effects to various actors. Consequently, individuals, companies and organisations go to great lengths to secure their data using company protocols, encryption, access control, firewalls and other preventive measures. A breach or leakage of privacy sensitive data has to be reported under the European regulations (GDPR) or other applicable law or regulation and can lead to a fine. Often, trust in the organsiation that spilled information declines and can diminish brand value. The recovery of systems or data may lead to substantial costs, personal consequences of a data breach may be identity theft, extortion and other cyber attacks for instance.
