The Security Hippie

The Security Hippie

The Security Hippie is Barak Engel’s second book. As the originator of the “Virtual CISO” (fractional security chief) concept he has served as security leader in dozens of notable organizations such as Mulesoft Stubhub Amplitude Analytics and many others. The Security Hippie follows his previous book Why CISOs Fail which became a sleeper hit earning a spot in the Cybercannon project as a leading text on the topic of information security management. In this new book Barak looks at security purely through the lens of story-telling sharing many and varied experiences from his long and accomplished career as organizational and thought leader and visionary in the information security field. Instead of instructing this book teaches by example sharing many real situations in the field and actual events from real companies as well as Barak’s related takes and thought processes. An out-of-the-mainstream counterculture thinker – Hippie – in the world of information security Barak’s rich background and unusual approach to the field come forth in this book in vivid color and detail allowing the reader to sit back and enjoy these experiences and perhaps gain insights when faced with similar issues themselves or within their organizations. The author works hard to avoid technical terms as much as possible and instead focus on the human and behavioral side of security finding the humor inherent in every anecdote and using it to demystify the field and connect with the reader. Importantly these are not the stories that made the news; yet they are the ones that happen all the time. If you’ve ever wondered about the field of information security but have been intimidated by it or simply wished for more shared experiences then The Security Hippie is the perfect way to open that window by accompanying Barak on some of his many travels into the land of security.

PKI Implementation and Infrastructures

PKI Implementation and Infrastructures

The concept of a PKI (public key infrastructure) has been around for decades but it is one strand of IT which has taken an extraordinarily long time to come to fruition within the mainstream. This is mostly because implementing a PKI is time consuming and difficult. Maintaining a PKI is equally time consuming and even more difficult within the real world of mergers and acquisitions against a backdrop of ever-changing technology. Many organisations simply give up and hand everything over to a third party who promises to manage everything on their behalf. This is generally not a good idea and simply delays the inevitability of failures and misunderstood complexity. This book explores all the aspects of implementing and maintaining a PKI that the other books on the subject seem to miss. It reflects decades of hard-won experience not only in PKI not only in IT not only in electronics but in business government agencies and academia alike. The book also explores the existence of a PKI alongside other technologies such as biometrics and against an ever-changing world of development methodologies. This last point is particularly relevant at this time as we are in the middle of a quiet but all encompassing revolution in this respect. Consequently this is the one book on PKI that you have to have on your shelf whether you be a company director IT manager government minister or teacher of IT. It is the book which fills in all the gaps left in the literature and treads paths which others fear to tread. You will enjoy it enormously if you are from an IT background. | PKI Implementation and Infrastructures

Privacy in Practice Establish and Operationalize a Holistic Data Privacy Program

Privacy in Practice Establish and Operationalize a Holistic Data Privacy Program

Privacy is not just the right to be left alone but also the right to autonomy control and access to your personal data. The employment of new technologies over the last three decades drives personal data to play an increasingly important role in our economies societies and everyday lives. Personal information has become an increasingly valuable commodity in the digital age. At the same time the abundance and persistence of personal data have elevated the risks to individuals’ privacy. In the age of Big Data the Internet of Things Biometrics and Artificial Intelligence it is becoming increasingly difficult for individuals to fully comprehend let alone control how and for what purposes organizations collect use and disclose their personal information. Consumers are growing increasingly concerned about their privacy making the need for strong privacy champions ever more acute. With a veritable explosion of data breaches highlighted almost daily across the globe and the introduction of heavy-handed privacy laws and regulatory frameworks privacy has taken center stage for businesses. Businesses today are faced with increasing demands for privacy protections ever-more complex regulations and ongoing cybersecurity challenges that place heavy demands on scarce resources. Senior management and executives now acknowledge privacy as some of the biggest risks to the business. Privacy traditionally has existed in a separate realm resulting in an unintentional and problematic barrier drawn between the privacy team and the rest of the organization. With many regulatory frameworks to consider building an all-encompassing data privacy program becomes increasingly challenging. Effective privacy protection is essential to maintaining consumer trust and enabling a robust and innovative digital economy in which individuals feel they may participate with confidence. This book aims at helping organizations in establishing a unified integrated enterprise-wide privacy program. This book is aiming to help privacy leaders and professionals to bridge the privacy program and business strategies transform legal terms and dead text to live and easy-to-understand essential requirements which organizations can easily implement identify and prioritize privacy program gap initiatives and promote awareness and embed privacy into the everyday work of the agency and its staff. | Privacy in Practice Establish and Operationalize a Holistic Data Privacy Program

Development in Nigeria Promise on Hold?

Development in Nigeria Promise on Hold?

This book unravels the trajectories and dilemmas of development in Nigeria since its independence in 1960. Despite enormous human and material resources development progress in Nigeria has not met expectations. By delving into the various factors that have influenced development efforts and initiatives Development in Nigeria: Promise on Hold? aims to draw out lessons to help the country to achieve its potential. In many ways Nigeria typifies the African puzzle of near-misses a never-ending drive towards development with enormous promise but no real practical output. As in many states within Africa these failures can be traced to structural inadequacies and the perennial weakness of public institutions. Problems which collectively undermine sustainable development and growth include political corruption ethnicity failure of public institutions distributional injustice fiscal centralism in a purported federal state faulty democratic traditions malevolent elite class religious and social conflicts among others. By taking a comprehensive panoramic overview of the country’s historical experience as both a military dictatorship and democracy Edlyne Eze Anugwom presents a nuanced comprehensive and contemporary interrogation of the ever-dynamic forces and factors in Nigeria’s development project. This book’s incisive examination of Nigeria’s development aspirations over time will be of interest to students of Development and African Studies as well as to practitioners and multilateral agencies involved in development planning and intervention in Nigeria who are looking for strategies for overcoming the challenges facing the country. | Development in Nigeria Promise on Hold?

Hunting the Faster than Light Tachyon and Finding Three Unicorns and a Herd of Elephants

Hunting the Faster than Light Tachyon and Finding Three Unicorns and a Herd of Elephants

In 1905 Albert Einstein declared speeds greater than light to be impossible. This book describes the author’s decades-long search for the hypothetical subatomic particles known as tachyons that violate this principle. This book is a scientific detective story. The crime is speeding—that is the possible breaking of the cosmic speed limit namely the speed of light as stipulated by Einstein. This detective story is also a memoir written by a member of a band of tachyon hunters. The author’s pursuit of tachyons has been met with skepticism from most physicists who note correctly that no such superluminal particles have ever been surely observed and that there have been many false sightings. Nevertheless considerable circumstantial evidence for tachyons has already been published and an ongoing experiment could decide the issue in the next few years. This book is written for the general reader containing humor and eliminating jargon whenever possible and will also be of interest to scientists. The hunt for the tachyon will fascinate all readers who approach the study of physics with curious and open minds. | Hunting the Faster than Light Tachyon and Finding Three Unicorns and a Herd of Elephants

Robot Souls Programming in Humanity

Robot Souls Programming in Humanity

Two of the biggest design problems in Artificial Intelligence are how to build robots that behave in line with human values and how to stop them ever going rogue. One under-explored solution to these alignment and control problems might be to examine how these are already addressed in the design of humans. Looking closely at the human blueprint it contains a suite of capacities that are so clumsy they have generally been kept away from AI. It was assumed that robots with features like emotions and intuition that made mistakes and looked for meaning and purpose would not work as well as robots without this kind of code. But on considering why all these irrational properties are there it seems that they emerge from the source code of soul. Because it is actually this ‘junk’ code that makes us human and promotes the kind of reciprocal altruism that keeps humanity alive and thriving. Robot Souls looks at developments in AI and reviews the emergence of ideas of consciousness and the soul. It places our ‘junk code’ in this context and argues that it is time to foreground that code and to use it to look again at how we are programming AI. The book author Eve Poole received an OBE in the 2023 New Year Honours for services to education and gender equality. | Robot Souls Programming in Humanity

Control Basics for Mechatronics

Control Basics for Mechatronics

Mechatronics is a mongrel a crossbreed of classic mechanical engineering the relatively young pup of computer science the energetic electrical engineering the pedigree mathematics and the bloodhound of Control Theory. All too many courses in control theory consist of a diet of ‘Everything you could ever need to know about the Laplace Transform’ rather than answering ‘What happens when your servomotor saturates?’ Topics in this book have been selected to answer the questions that the mechatronics student is most likely to raise. That does not mean that the mathematical aspects have been left out far from it. The diet here includes matrices transforms eigenvectors differential equations and even the dreaded z transform. But every effort has been made to relate them to practical experience to make them digestible. They are there for what they can do not to support pages of mathematical rigour that defines their origins. The theme running throughout the book is simulation with simple JavaScript applications that let you experience the dynamics for yourself. There are examples that involve balancing such as a bicycle following a line and a balancing trolley that is similar to a Segway. This can be constructed ‘for real’ with components purchased from the hobby market. | Control Basics for Mechatronics
