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.

(Online) attack surface
An online or digital attack surface comprises of all possible penetration points of electronic devices, networks and software applications. These penetration points are also known as attack vectors. An unauthorized individual, such as a black-hat hacker, can utilize these attack vectors to penetrate digital systems, obtain or steal classified data and consequently sell or release this data for personal or financial gain. With the ever-increasing evolvement and development of digital systems, such as Internet of Things devices, to counter both old and new digital threats and enhance or include new technological features, the online attack surface becomes more prevalent. Another factor that enhances the vulnerability of the online attack surface is the way in which digital devices transmit and receive data without any human interaction.
Related Keywords: Digital threats, DDoS-attacks, botnets.
