🎉 5 years ago, the Human Capital Agreement South-Holland was launched. Today the Provincie Zuid-Holland looked back and reflected on the results, lessons learned and the way forward during an event in The Hague. 🔎 Research shows that the Human Capital approach in South-Holland resulted in 5.2 billion euros of gross revenue and contributes to broad prosperity. It takes 15-20 years to reach full effects, so the work is not done. It a.o. requires triple helix collaboration, leadership, capital and a supporting organisation. 🧑🎓 As Security Delta (HSD), we contribute to several projects and programmes and connect the Province agreement to the National Human Capital Agenda Security. 👉 More info about the launch in 2019: https://lnkd.in/eR2Wp8Xy Provincie Zuid-Holland I Economic Board Zuid-Holland I We-IT: De Haagse Hogeschool / The Hague University of Applied Sciences I Gemeente Den Haag I Gemeente Rotterdam I Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties I Albeda College Economie & Ondernemen I Equals I Gemeente Zoetermeer I Hogeschool van Amsterdam I ICT Praktijk Academie I Security Delta (HSD) I BEE ideas I IT Campus Rotterdam I Venéco I PostNL I Main Capital Partners I Manpower I mboRijnland I NCOI Opleidingen I ROC Mondriaan I Tech Grounds I Young Digitals I YoungCapital NEXT I Young Colfield I

👏 New National Guideline for Transparent Communication on Sensors in Public Spaces As the deployment of sensors in public spaces continues to grow, effective and transparent communication becomes increasingly critical. Municipalities and government organisations are prioritising the need for clear messaging regarding sensor usage, with a strong focus on privacy, compliance with legal frameworks such as the GDPR, and ethical considerations. At the Smart Safety & Security Talk, organised by the Impact Coalitie Safety & Security insights into this newly developed communication guideline for the use of sensors were presented. Read here for the full recap on the Smart Safety & Security Talk and link to the new guideline: https://lnkd.in/eys4PsGx This initiative follows two years of collaboration by a diverse consortium, which includes the Responsible Sensing Lab, Gemeente Amsterdam, Gemeente Den Haag, Gemeente Utrecht, Gemeente Rotterdam, AMS Institute, Provincie Noord-Brabant, VNG (Vereniging van Nederlandse Gemeenten), and TU Delft. With the communication guideline for government sensors, an essential step is being taken toward greater transparency and trust for residents and visitors regarding the use of sensors in public spaces.   For more information or questions about this new communication guideline, feel free to contact the Impact Coalitie Safety & Security.

📣 emproof & DDC-I announce strategic partnership!   🚀 For Emproof, this collaboration with DDC-I marks a major step forward in enhancing embedded system security, particularly in mission, safety and critical industries, like aerospace and defense.   Nils Albartus, Emproof: "Our collaboration with DDC-I strengthens the security of Deos-based systems in critical industries like aerospace and defense. By integrating Emproof Nyx, system developers gain powerful tools to protect their software at the binary level, helping to ensure that intellectual property and sensitive data remain secure, even in the face of advanced reverse engineering and exploitation attacks.”   Gary Gilliland, DDC-I: “By combining Deos’ reliable real-time operating system with Emproof Nyx, we are helping our customers defend against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats in the most demanding environments.”   With their shared vision for the future, we are excited to see how this partnership will unlock new opportunities for innovation and growth!   Congratulations to both on this exciting new partnership! 🎉   👉 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eUGRK-ef Andreas Thull I Brian Kelly I Marc Fyrbiak I Tim Blazytko I Philipp Koppe I Nils Albartus I Gary Gilliland

💡Er staat weer een interessante Smart Safety & Security Talk, georganiseerd door de Impact Coalitie Safety & Security, gepland! 📅  Donderdag 12 december van 13.00 - 14.00uur ▶️ Samen tegen straatintimidatie 📍 Online 🗣️ Voor ambtenaren van de overheid of kennisinstellingen die aan vraagstukken rondom smart technology en stedelijke veiligheid werken #Straatintimidatie hoort niet thuis in Nederland, maar onderzoek toont aan dat het probleem nog steeds schrijnend groot is. Vooral jonge vrouwen en queer-personen hebben hier vaak mee te maken. Meer dan 2 op de 3 vrouwen tussen de 18 en 25 jaar heeft ervaring met een vorm van straatintimidatie. Met de invoering van de Wet Seksuele Misdrijven op 1 juli 2024 is seksuele intimidatie in het openbaar eindelijk strafbaar gesteld. Maar wetgeving alleen is niet genoeg. In deze Talk op 12 december vertelt Fons van Overbeek, OOV adviseur, over de ervaringen van de Gemeente Eindhoven met het gebruik van een 'Stop straatintimidatie-app'. De bedoeling is dat door middel van het werken met deze app de drempel om een melding te maken aanzienlijk wordt verlaagd. Daarnaast moet het ook waardevolle informatie opleveren over de aard en omvang van straatintimidatie. Deze gegevens helpen gemeenten om gericht actie te ondernemen, zoals het inzetten van handhavers of aanpassingen in de openbare ruimte. Naast inspirerende voorbeelden van de Eindhovense gemeentepraktijk, is er uiteraard ook tijd om in te gaan op vragen vanuit de deelnemers. Interesse?

We are pleased to announce that Impact Coalitie Safety & Security is launching a monthly series on #drone #detection. Drones are becoming increasingly important in our society. They are used for everything from recreational activities to inspections and emergency response. However, they also pose new security risks. This first article explores why drone detection is critical for municipalities. Whether protecting sensitive locations such as airports and industrial sites, securing major events, or ensuring public safety, drones offer opportunities and risks. Unwanted uses, like espionage or disruptions in public spaces, call for a targeted approach. ▶️ Read here the first article: https://lnkd.in/e8MMp6R4 The upcoming articles in this series will be available on the ICSS website: https://lnkd.in/eEb3WSzj and LinkedIn channel: https://lnkd.in/ezjEyEgz. Next month, ICSS will explore drone detection, its mechanisms, and the various technologies available. They will also discuss how municipalities can implement detection systems to improve safety in urban environments. Interested? Stay updated by following the ICSS channels.
