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.

Decision support systems
A decision support system, or DSS, is a computerised program used to support determinations, judgements, and courses of action in an organisation or a business. A DSS sifts through and analyses massive amounts of data thereby compiling comprehensive information that can be used to solve problems and can be utilised in decision-making. A DSS can make use of scenarios, models (including behavioural models, risk management models), protocols, decision trees and a user interface, and can be deployed in a wide variety of domains. Here we focus on DSS for safety and security.
Accurate system design is extremely important to fit the needs of the final decisionmaker and prevent information overload or misplaced trust. Although a DSS allows for more informed decision-making, timely problem-solving, and improved efficiency in dealing with issues or operations, planning, and even management, a company or government entity can become too depended on a DSS, leaving little room for interpretation and in some cases accountability. The cost to develop and implement DSS is often a big investment, which makes it less accessible to SME’s.
