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.

Malicious software, also known as malware, are hostile programs that can be inserted onto a digital device, thereby causing harm to the device or act against the users' interests. These devices include computers, servers, clients, mobile devices, connected sensors and computer network devices. Antivirus, or antimalware, is a computer program that searches for the presence of specific files that include malware. An antivirus tries to isolate or remove the malware and consequently provides a notification of the attempt. Antiviruses can be host-based (directly installed on digital devices) or network-based (installed on gateway devices through which information is processed).
Malware can both be intentionally and unintentionally harmful to a digital device. Intentional-harmful malware is usually disguised or embedded in a file that appears to be harmless in order for the attacker to intentionally compromise a system. Unintentional-harmful malware is not intended to be harmful in the first place but can be harmful as a result of poor construction quality, insecure configuration and bad design (also labeled as 'software bug'). There are multiple types of malware, such as viruses, worms, ransomware, trojans, spyware, adware, rogue ware and scareware. Different malware types are used by hackers to perform cybersecurity attacks on various digital devices and steal information, disrupt operation or use devices for other criminal activities. Remedies against malware apart from antivirus include firewalls, access limitations, segmentation, air gapping and other technologies.
