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 demand is growing for well-educated cyber security professionals
Cyber security in hbo- and mbo-ICT
Cyber-attacks are a growing social and economic problem. The demand from the market for well-educated cyber security professionals is growing rapidly. In most ICT programmes, the subject of cyber security is now part of the curriculum. In the province of Zuid-Holland there are several higher professional education graduates: The Hague University of Applied Sciences and Leiden University of Applied Sciences even have Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes. ROC-Mondriaan is also a forerunner in this field: they pay attention to cyber security awareness, not only in the mbo-ICT study programme, but also in their non-technical study programmes. A good development, but does education fit in well with practice? Are lecturers sufficiently in touch with the world of cyber security professionals to prepare students for practice?
