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.

The Dark Web is a part of the internet which is not visible or accessible through regular web browsers. Websites that are based on the Dark Web are not indexed by web search engines. The internet can be seen as an iceberg. The top-layer includes those parts of the internet that are always accessible, for example a company website. The second layer is called the Deep Web. This layer includes parts of the internet that are blocked for the general public, but are visible for individuals with granted access. For example, someone’s personal financials on a banking website, which can only be accessed by that person using their log-in credentials. The third layer is the Dark Web, peer-to-peer networks for which specific software is needed to access and that often offer well encrypted connections and anonymity.
The most well-known web browser for accessing the Dark Web is called The Onion Ring browser (or TOR). TOR-sites use .onion instead of for example .com or .nl. The Dark Web is used for legitimate purposes that require a high level of security or anonymity (such as journalism, communication under repressive regimes, escape censorship, protect privacy), but also includes many illicit websites which grant access to illegal activities/information, such as drug purchases, terrorism propaganda and child pornography. The harmful implications that these illegal activities have, is one of the reasons why many Dark Web websites are of interest for police forces to be monitored and investigated.
