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.

Penetration Testing technology
Penetration testing technology is used to perform penetration tests or blue/purple/red teaming, and a toolbox for hackers. The technology is used to identify weaknesses or vulnerabilities is systems or applications. There are hundreds of tools available, most of them designed for a specific type of attack. Penetration testers can use a operating system that is specialised in hacking systems and comes preloaded with a selection of tools. Examples are Kali Linux and BackBox. Tools that can be used are for instance Nmap, Wireshark, Metasploit, sqlmap, Kismet, Armitage, Aircrack and John The Ripper.
Another tool for penetration testing are ‘dummy’ or ‘lab’ systems to practice different ways of compromising a system. Examples are OWASP Web Testing Environment and Metasploitable.
Related Keywords: fuzzing, buffer overflows, SQL injections, payload, OWASP, NIST, OSSTMM, PTES
