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.

Those wanting to protect cyberspace have struggled to keep up with those who want to undermine it
We also note that those concerned with the stability of cyberspace have struggled to keep up with those who seek to undermine it, as well as keep pace with technological developments and the evolution of geopolitical conflicts. Part of the challenge is that cyberspace has transformed the way actors pursue political and military objectives; with low barriers to entry, it is less difficult to become a cyber power than a traditional military power. Additionally, with new technology in their toolkits, some are hesitant to adopt constraints, particularly if those constraints are not widely honored. What is needed is an overarching Cyberstability Framework for the international community, one that promotes the stability of cyberspace yet remains useful as the pace of technological change continues to increase.
