The security visualisation showcase visualisation.trespass-project.eu has launched. The site documents the visualisation output, documents visualisation methods, gathers demos and prototypes, and lists security related visualisation publications. It consist of many visual examples and demonstration videos. 

22nd of September 2016 the 3th edition of WTHX will be held in The Hague. Professionals from the fields of peace, justice, and security come together with creatives, coders, techies, designers, journalist, artists and philosophers at WTHX for a 12 hour rollercoaster of ideation and co-creation. In small multidisciplinary teams, the 125+ attendees will formulate questions and prototype potential solutions for tomorrow’s issues. These teams use the themes of peace, justice, and security as their starting point.

TREsPASS will host a Summer School at Royal Holloway University of London from the 20th to the 23rd of June 2016. This Summer School seeks to explore these challenges through a combination of high profile talks on the social aspects of cyber risks and hands-on workshops to transfer a range of modelling and analytical skills innovated specifically for the cyber security terrain. The speakers will come from a range of academic disciplines including law, geography, sociology, politics and international relations, computer science, information systems and information security.  

Makayla Lewis wins first prize with her entry: Cyberstalking: its about control, not only privacy!  On November 11 TREsPASS organised a visualisation workshop, and an awards ceremony to announce the winner of the cyber security visualisation award. The jury, consisting of Ben Fry, Claude Heath, Loraine Gamman, Manuel Lima and Raffael Marty had the difficult task to select a winner from the large amount of entries.

Wednesday 11 November TREsPASS will have a visualisation and rapid prototyping workshop and the winners of the Visualisation competition will be announced at Border Sessions in The Hague.

Today, Wolter Pieters of TREsPASS appeared on Dutch national radio in an item on security awareness testing. Suspicious USB sticks had been delivered to several companies, causing the police to issue a warning. In the end, it was unclear whether this was malicious or just a test, with the latter being the most likely. This emphasises the importance of informing the right people and following the right procedures in such tests.

The TREsPASS project has a published an in-depth review of current standardised Risk Assessment methodologies as part of its Year 2 efforts. The public deliverable is available for download here.
The document lists and describes relevant international Information Security standards, and covers thereafter Risk Assessment methodologies, as well as any related tools. Owners, countries of origin, target organisations are also discussed for each individual method.
