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.

Threats driven by Artificial Intelligence
-The year 2021 should be a year in which AI is adopted on a large scale by companies
- By 2025, the market of AI software will be worth 37 billion dollers
In the opinion of the ISS (Institute for Security Studies) new technologies will be a driving force behind the conflicts of tomorrow. In December, this European organisation published 15 scenarios for 2030, in which experts try to imagine what future wars will be like. The term Artificial Intelligence appears in it 547 times… Europol has listed the current and future threats from artificial intelligence. According to this report, AI is already being used to crack passwords, to beat CAPTCHAs and even… to clone voices. But tomorrow however, it’ll be in the physical world that terrible consequences occur. And with the growth of machine learning operations (MLOps), it is the industrialisation of AI (and its threats) which is currently the focus.
The year 2021 should be a year in which AI is adopted on a large scale by companies, forecasts Forrester. By 2025, the market for artificial intelligence software will be worth 37 billion dollars. So, a fast-growing market. Already in 2019, 52% of French companies used AI solutions or planned to do so, according to figures from Wavestone. In August 2020, an artificial intelligence solution was used in a US Air Force military aircraft. However, companies which adopt emerging AI technology first are underestimating the risks and leaving the planning of their security until a late stage, according to an Accenture study published in November 2020. A grey area, ideal for cyber-attacks.
