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.

Network technologies
Network technologies are the way by which two or more computers or digital devices are connected so that they may exchange information, such as data and audio- and visual files. There is a large diversity of network technologies that support the wide array of operational telecommunication networks around the globe. Network technologies can be classified based on scale, such as Local Area Network- (LAN), Metropolitan Area Network- (MAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN) connections or on transmission, such as point-to-point technologies (sender and receiver are directly connected) and multi-point technologies (multiple nodes are connected directly). Small scale LAN setups are used in for example offices and homes, whilst WAN networks focus on providing functional computer networks on a larger geographical scale.
Aspects of network technologies are the technical components such as routers, switches, amplifiers and all sorts of cables to connect systems (fibre optic, CAI, ethernet, etc.). Depending on the setup of the network it may include central servers, nodes or endpoint devices. The communication protocols may differ between but also within each type of network. Specific architectures (cloud computing), protocols (dark web) and implementation areas (Internet of Things, or IoT) are part of this segment.
