Book SynopsisOrganizations of all sizes struggle to secure their data in a constantly evolving digital landscape. Expanding digital footprints and the rapid expansion of cloud strategies arising from the COVID-19 pandemic increase an organization's attack surface. When combined with limited resources caused by the cybersecurity skills gap, securing small and mid-sized business IT infrastructures becomes more complicated. With limited staffing and budgetary restrictions, small businesses need to create cost-effective, security-driven programs that protect data while also meeting increasingly stringent compliance requirements.This book bridges the gap between complex technical language and business objectives to create a security-first review of the security and compliance landscapes. Starting from the premise that with security comes compliance, this book starts by defining security-first and then walking readers through the process of creating a holistic security and compliance program.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Into the Mind of a Malicious ActorChapter 2 Reviewing the Compliance LandscapeChapter 3 Compliance RiskChapter 4 Looking at Risk through a Security LensChapter 5 How to Set ControlsChapter 6 Continuous MonitoringChapter 7 Vendor Risk Management: Securing the Supply ChainChapter 8 Calculating the Total Cost of ComplianceChapter 9 Information Security Audit: The What, How, and Why Chapter 10 Cyber Liability InsuranceChapter 11 Cybersustai nability: Ethical Data Handling for Corporate ResponsibilityChapter 12 Magic 8 Ball Says "Yes"

Book SynopsisThis book introduces the Internet of Things (IoT), which is the convergence of connecting people, things, data and processes; it is transforming our life, business and everything in between. By 2025, experts forecast that up to 75 billion devices will be connected to the Internet with only one third of them being computers, smartphones, smartwatches, and tablets. The remaining two thirds will be other "devices" – sensors, terminals, household appliances, thermostats, televisions, automobiles, production machinery, urban infrastructure and many other "things", which traditionally have not been Internet enabled. This "Internet of Things" (IoT) represents a remarkable transformation of the way in which our world will soon interact. Much like the World Wide Web connected computers to networks, and the next evolution mobile devices connected people to the Internet and other people, IoT looks poised to interconnect devices, people, environments, virtual objects and machines in ways that only science fiction writers could have imagined.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisWe live in a digital world, where we use digital tools and smart devices to communicate over the Internet. In turn, an enormous amount of data gets generated. The traditional computing architectures are inefficient in storing and managing this massive amount of data. Unfortunately, the data cannot be ignored as it helps businesses to make better decisions, solve problems, understand performance, improve processes, and understand customers. Therefore, we need modern systems capable of handling and managing data efficiently. In the past few decades, many distributed computing paradigms have emerged, and we have noticed a substantial growth in the applications based on such emerging paradigms. Some well-known emerging computing paradigms include cloud computing, fog computing, and edge computing, which have leveraged the increase in the volume of data being generated every second. However, the distributed computing paradigms face critical challenges, including network management and cyTable of Contents1 Edge computing-enabled secure information-centric networking: Privacy challenges, benefits, and future trends KAVISH TOMAR, SARISHMA DANGI, AND SACHIN SHARMA2 Weighted attack graphs and behavioral cyber game theory for cyber risk quantification FLORIAN K.

Book SynopsisAn accessible introduction to the technical and social construct of digital identity, this book helps students understand how the data they generate through online activities and apps is used and the implications it can have.Each of us has a digital identity, compiled of multiple identities, which has been built over the years as we have interacted with various technologies and apps. This book explores how the data generated through these online activities is used by third parties to form our digital identity and how this identity can then determine where we live, what job we have, what we buy, who we vote for, what healthcare we can access, and much more. Featuring real-world examples, discussion questions and activities throughout, the book aims to help students understand the impact of their digital identity on everyday life. By understanding how technologies are used by apps, businesses, governments and third parties, they can then begin to manage their digital identity and regain control of the way they are represented to the world.An important guide to digital identity for undergraduate students, this book will be especially useful to those studying topics such as big data and society, digital literacy, media and communication, social media and society, and beyond.

Book SynopsisOur world and the people within it are increasingly interpreted and classified by automated systems. At the same time, automated classifications influence what happens in the physical world. These entanglements change what it means to interact with governance, and shift what elements of our identity are knowable and meaningful. In this cyber-physical world, or ''world state'', what is the role for law? Specifically, how should law address the claim that computational systems know us better than we know ourselves? Monitoring Laws traces the history of government profiling from the invention of photography through to emerging applications of computer vision for personality and behavioral analysis. It asks what dimensions of profiling have provoked legal intervention in the past, and what is different about contemporary profiling that requires updating our legal tools. This work should be read by anyone interested in how computation is changing society and governance, and what it is aboutTrade Review'Jake Goldenfein's brilliant and theoretically sophisticated reconstruction of legal identity in the era of automated profiling serves notice to our would-be digital overlords: the days when they could imagine that legal and policy frameworks were too hopelessly outdated to keep up are over. Monitoring Laws is a crucial contribution to contemporary discussions of privacy and profiling that provides the conceptual and historical resources for developing a regulatory regime that protects personal identity and legal rights in an era of ubiquitous monitoring.' Mark Andrejevic, Monash University'How thrilling it is to read a work that stretches ideas of what legal thought and practice have been, and what they might yet become. Monitoring Laws is such a book. In captivating, pellucid prose, Jake Goldenfein retells the story of two centuries of profiling practice - from photography to neural nets, from dossiers to data analytics - and the legal, representational and relational thinking imbricated therein. Throughout, Goldenfein shows, legal notions of identity have been modulated, challenged and reworked along with developments in surveillance technology. And those notions may yet still be, he shows, by thinking juridically with data, rather than through, against, or in spite of our contemporary informational existence. To the broad range of readers likely to find this book of interest, Goldenfein urges paying close attention to how the world and we who live here are being structured and actioned informationally, and extending our thinking about legal subjects accordingly. And once one does attend to this book's thoughtful refiguring of the stakes of digital surveillance, it is indeed hard to look away.' Fleur Johns, University of New South Wales, Sydney'You are being observed, monitored and profiled in more areas of life than you know. In this brilliant book, Jake Goldenfein explains the history and theory of the laws of monitoring, and provides a roadmap to the future. If you want to understand how we got to this point, and what's at stake in a panoptical society, then you need to read this book.'

Book SynopsisOver the course of a generation, algorithms have gone from mathematical abstractions to powerful mediators of daily life. In evolving from static computer programs hand-coded by engineers to the products of machine learning, these technologies have made our lives more efficient, more entertaining, and, sometimes, better informed. At the same time, complex algorithms are increasingly crushing the basic rights of individual citizens. Allegedly anonymized datasets and statistical models routinely leak our most sensitive personal information; applications for everything from loans to college reflect racial and gender bias. Meanwhile, users manipulate algorithms to game search engines, spam filters, online reviewing services and navigation apps. Understanding and improving the science behind the algorithms that run our lives is quickly becoming one of the most pressing issues of this century. Traditional solutions, such as laws, regulations and watchdog groups, have proven woefully inadequate, at best. Derived from the cutting-edge of scientific research, The Ethical Algorithm offers a new approach: a set of principled solutions based on the emerging and exciting science of socially aware algorithm design. Weaving together the science behind algorithm design with stories of citizens, lawyers, scientists, and activists experiencing the trial-and-error of research in real-time, Michael Kearns and Aaron Roth present a strikingly original way forward, showing how we can begin to work together to protect people from the unintended impacts of algorithms--and, sometimes, protect the science that could save us from ourselves.Trade Review...the authors take us on a journey through the main socio-algorithmic problems representing social constraints upon algorithms, their consequences and trade-offs.

Book SynopsisPutting technology front and centre in our thinking about law, this book introduces Law 3.0: the future of the legal landscape.Technology not only disrupts the traditional idea of what it is âto think like a lawyer,â as per Law 1.0; it presents major challenges to regulators who are reasoning in a Law 2.0 mode. As this book demonstrates, the latest developments in technology offer regulators the possibility of employing a technical fix rather than just relying on rules â thus, we are introducing Law 3.0. Law 3.0 represents, so to speak, the state we are in and the conversation that we now need to have, and this book identifies some of the key points for discussion in that conversation. Thinking like a lawyer might continue to be associated with Law 1.0, but from 2020 onward, Law 3.0 is the conversation that we all need to join. And, as this book argues, law and the evolution of legal reasoning cannot be adequately understood unless we grasp the significance of technology in sTable of Contents1. Introduction to Law 3.0 2.

Book SynopsisThis book investigates how digital technologies, such as social media and artificial intelligence, can contribute to combatting corruption in Brazil.Brazil, with its long history of scandals and abundant empirical data on digital media usage, serves as a perfect case study to trace the development of bottom-up and top-down digital anti-corruption technologies and their main features. This book highlights the connections between anti-corruption reforms and the rapid implementation of innovative solutions, primarily developed by tech-savvy public officials and citizens committed to anti-corruption efforts. The book draws on interviews with experts, activists and civil servants, as well as open-source materials and social media data to identify key actors, their practices, challenges and limitations of anti-corruption technologies. The result is a thorough analysis of the process of digitalisation of anti-corruption in Brazil, with a theoretical framework which can also be applied to other countries. The book introduces the concept of âœintegrity techiesâ to encompass social and political actors who develop and facilitate anti-corruption technologies, and discusses different outcomes and issues associated with digital innovation in anti-corruption.This book will be a key resource for students, researchers and practitioners interested in technologies and development in Brazil and Latin America, as well as corruption and anti-corruption studies more broadly.

Book SynopsisArtificial Intelligence was meant to be the great social equalizer that helps promote fairness by removing human bias from the equation, but is this true? Given that the policing and judicial systems can display human bias, this book explores how the technology they use can also reflect these prejudices.From healthcare services to social scoring in exams, to applying for and getting loans, AI outcomes often restrict those most in need of these services. Through personal stories from an esteemed Black Data Scientist and AI expert, this book attempts to demystify the algorithmic black box.AI pervades all aspects of modern society and affects everyone within it, yet its internal biases are rarely confronted. This book advises readers on what they can do to fight against it, including the introduction of a proposed AI Bill of Rights, whilst also providing specific recommendations for AI developers and technologists. https://hiddeninwhitesight.com/ Trade Review"An excellent book…is every day life, practical, visionary, and opens unique thoughts and ways to solving pervasive daily problems."--Antonio Smith Sr., Technologist, Serial Entrepreneur, Leader, Author, Inventor, Mentor, Activist"This book a must read.

Book SynopsisThis book provides a nuanced exploration of contemporary digital data governance, highlighting the importance of cooperation across sectors and disciplines in order to adapt to a rapidly evolving technological landscape. Most of the theory around global digital data governance remains scattered and focused on specific actors, norms, processes, or disciplinary approaches. This book argues for a polycentric approach, allowing readers to consider the issue across multiple disciplines and scales.Polycentrism, this book argues, provides a set of lenses that tie together the variety of actors, issues, and processes intertwined in digital data governance at subnational, national, regional, and global levels. Firstly, this approach uncovers the complex array of power centers and connections in digital data governance.

Book SynopsisApplication vulnerabilities continue to top the list of cyber security concerns. While attackers and researchers continue to expose new application vulnerabilities, the most common application flaws are previous, rediscovered threats. For example, SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS) have appeared on the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Top 10 list year after year over the past decade. This high volume of known application vulnerabilities suggests that many development teams do not have the security resources needed to address all potential security flaws and a clear shortage of qualified professionals with application security skills exists. Without action, this soft underbelly of business and governmental entities has and will continue to be exposed with serious consequencesdata breaches, disrupted operations, lost business, brand damage, and regulatory fines. This is why it is essential for software professionals to stay current on the latest advances in softTable of Contents Secure Software Concepts. Secure Software Requirements. Secure Software Design.

Book SynopsisHow Computer Games Help Children Learn shows how video and computer games can help teach children to build successful futures - but only if we think in new ways about education itself.Trade Review"Shaffer offers practical advice to assist parents and educators to respond to his call to radically transform an increasingly outdated educational system..." Barry Joseph, Online Leadership Director, Global Kids "This totally enchanting book shows what education in the 21st century couldlook likeif we are willing to expand our notions of learning in ways that foster productive inquiry and design An extremely readable book that should be on the bookshelf of anyone who cares about having schools that help young people prepare to compete in the global economy." John Seely Brown, Former Chief Scientist of Xerox Corporation and Director of its Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), Senior Fellow, Annenberg Center, USC, and co-author, The Social Life of Information and The Only Sustainable Edge "Beautifully written...How Computer Games Help Children Learn breaks new ground in exciting ways. What a treat! A book about the development of innovative thinking that is refreshingly innovative...A tour de force." Deborah Lowe Vandell, Chair, Department of Education, University of California, Irvine "You may have asked yourself if computer games are destroying the minds of our nation's children. How Computer Games Help Children Learn shows that the exact opposite is true. Parents, educators, and computer game makers take note: by combining years of research and his front-line classroom experiences, Shaffer makes a cogent and compelling argument for the educational power of intelligently crafted games that can serve as tools to help children think and learn about real world problems and their solutions." Michael McCormick, Senior Designer, Backbone Entertainment, and Lead Designer of SimCity 4 "Shaffer's book moves from vivid case studies and accessible accounts of key ideas from the learning sciences to practical advice on how parents can help theirchildren learn more from the games they play. This book represents the logical next step in a conversation started by James Paul Gee's What Video GamesHave toTeach Us about Learning and Literacy and Steven Johnson's Everything Bad Is Good For You." Henry Jenkins, Director, Comparative Media Studies Program, MIT "This well-written and important book will introduce parents and teachers to a radical idea: video games can be good for children. When children play games like Sim City or The Oregon Trail, they learn about urban planning or the American West in spite of themselves. But these games are just the tip of the iceberg; Shaffer describes a wide range of fascinating new learning games that are just now emerging...Because these games give children the chance to creatively manipulate a virtual world, they can teach creativity and innovation, abilities that are more important than ever in today's competitive global economy Shaffer advises parents how to pick out a good learning game, how to play it with your children, and how to make sure they are learning from it." R. Keith Sawyer, author of Group Genius: The Creative Power of Collaboration "Shaffer's book points out forcefully a paradigm of future schooling: to better prepare our kids for a globally competitive world, we have to bring the thinking, practices, and cultures of various professions into school learning. With convincing examples of simulated professional games that can integrate learning, working, and playing, he proves that this is feasible." Tak-Wai Chan, National Central University, Taiwan 'This groundbreaking book raises fundamental issues concerning the goals of education and highlights the need for innovative thinkers in the 21st century. Written in a clear, lucid, and direct manner, Shaffer makes his ideas easily accessible to professional as well as lay readers. The book will benefit educators, school administrators, policy makers, and, most importantly, parents.' Yam San Chee, Associate Professor, Learning Sciences & Technologies Academic Group & Learning Sciences Lab, National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University "Deep learning, technical learning, learning that leads to the ability to innovate: these are the most important natural resources in our global high-tech world. Will our children be able to compete with kids in China and India? Shaffer shows us how to mine the potential of video game technologies to transform learning at home, in communities, and in schools." James Paul Gee, University of Wisconsin-Madison, author of What Video Games Have to Teach Us about Learning and Literacy "Like Dewey, Piaget, and Papert before him, Shaffer challenges us to rethink learning in a new age. He uses vivid examples - backed by solid research - to show what education should look like in the 21st century." - Kurt D. Squire, Assistant Professor of Education, University ofWisconsin-Madison,and Game Designer"A must read for anyone who cares about learning. Game designers depend on having millions of people voluntarily learn more than anyone would dare put into a school curriculum. So studying games - how they are designed and how they are played - is one of the best sources of insight about learning, and Shaffer is an excellent guide to making the most of it." - Seymour Papert, Professor Emeritus, Media and Education Technology, MIT Media LabTable of ContentsForeword: Seeing the Future; J.P.Gee Introduction Epistemology: The Debating Game Knowledge: The Digital Zoo Skills: Escher's World Values: The Pandora Project Identity: Science.net Beyond the Industrial School: The Future of Education and How We Get There

Why is the industry constantly getting in the way of its own technological progress and what can we do about it all? This book looks at the human and structural obstacles to innovation-driven transformation and at the change in habits, mindsets and leadership needed for the next stage of the digital journey and argues that this change will be brought about, not by external heroes and saviours, not by a generation yet to be born, but people just like us.

Leda dives deep into the plumbing – systems, processes and culture – in large organisations, uncovering legacy tech and legacy mindsets with humour and humanity. These are real-world problems with real-world solutions from an expert in digital transformation."—Joy Macknight, Editor, The Banker"In banking, we are in that rare moment of time where worlds are colliding. As Leda writes "The challenge is that up until now, the industry has evolved. Now it has to transform." As a long-time banker and newly-minted digital transformation leader, I know too well that years of ‘existing’ in banking created strong muscle memory that now thrashes against the pace of change. It pulls us back to what feels familiar and comfortable. This opportunity for transformation isn’t about new ways of doing the old things, but more about completely new models of how serve the customer, and how we do so with completely new profit schemes.

Book SynopsisWhat do philosophy and computer science have in common? It turns out, quite a lot!In providing an introduction to computer science (using Python), Daniel Lim presents in this book key philosophical issues, ranging from external world skepticism to the existence of God to the problem of induction. These issues, and others, are introduced through the use of critical computational concepts, ranging from image manipulation to recursive programming to elementary machine learning techniques. In illuminating some of the overlapping conceptual spaces of computer science and philosophy, Lim teaches readers fundamental programming skills and allows them to develop the critical thinking skills essential for examining some of the enduring questions of philosophy.Key Features Teaches readers actual computer programming, not merely ideas about computers Includes fun programming projects (like digital image manipulation and Game of Life simulation)Trade Review"Philosophy and computer science have fascinating interconnections concerning knowledge, reality, and morality. With clarity and insight, Daniel Lim’s book provides an excellent introduction to computing and philosophical investigation.

Book SynopsisAI in combination with other innovative technologies promises to bring unprecedented opportunities to all aspects of life. These technologies, however, hold great dangers, especially for the manipulation of the human mind, which have given rise to serious ethical concerns. Apart from some sectoral regulatory efforts to address these concerns, no regulatory framework for AI has yet been adopted though in 2021 the European Commission of the EU published a draft Act on Artificial Intelligence and UNESCO followed suit with a Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence.The book contextualises the future regulation of AI, specifically addressing the regulatory challenges relating to the planned prohibition of the use of AI systems that deploy subliminal techniques. The convergence of AI with various related technologies, such as brainâcomputer interfaces, functional magnetic resonance imaging, robotics and big data, already allows for mind reading or dream hacking throuTrade ReviewForemost expert in the international field of legal synaesthesia, Rostam Neuwirth reminds us in this engagingly complex critique of proposed EU regulation in AI systems, that in this age of paradox and oxymora, the mind, with its elaborately interactive sensory intersectionality involving cognition, knowledge, and reality, is a site precariously positioned for manipulation through systems of artificial intelligence that seek to control awareness and perception through subliminal techniques emboldened by irresponsible regulation. Law must protect our foundational freedom as humans to think, to feel, and engage with thoughts, feelings, and the reality that comes from this chaotic overlap.Sarah Marusek, University of Hawai‘i Hilo (USA) and author of "Synesthetic Legalities: Sensory Dimensions of Law and Jurisprudence"Rostam J. Neuwirth’s book on the subliminal effects of AI is both original and timely. It is original because Neuwirth combines discourses from the fields of vulnerability theory, AI and neuroscience in a unique manner. The book is timely because the earlier one understands AI’s subliminal effects, the higher is the chance that we can avoid that the concept of ‘private thought’ becomes an oxymoron. Neuwirth’s latest book is thus essential reading for anyone committed to the protection of human dignity and human autonomy in the digital realm.Valentin Jeutner, Lund University (Sweden) and author of "Irresolvable Norm Conflicts in International Law: The Concept of a Legal Dilemma"The global challenges of the XXI century spur humans to deal with Complex Systems. In my book, entitled "Untangling Complex Systems: A Grand Challenge for Science", I show that Artificial Intelligence (AI) turns out to be a valuable tool to tackle Complexity. The development of AI brings humanity to the brink of a fourth technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way humans live, work, and conceive themselves. There are intelligent machines that "assist", others that "augment" humans, and finally others that are "autonomous". These intelligent machines, which interact with humans, help face complex scenarios but raise ethical questions. The brilliant and farsighted Neuwirth’s book presents the general context of the future regulation of AI. It specifically addresses the regulatory challenges related to the planned prohibition of "the use of an AI system that deploys subliminal techniques beyond a person’s consciousness". Through a transdisciplinary examination of AI's legal, technological, linguistic and cognitive aspects, Neuwirth legitimately concludes that control of the mind should remain the personal domain of every human and the term "private thought" should not become an oxymoron. Neuwirth’s book is a "must-read" for anyone who wants to know more about the regulation of subliminal AI systems.Pier Luigi Gentili, Department of Chemistry, Biology and Biotechnology, University of Perugia (Italy)A highly important and timely discussion of the concept of subliminal manipulation at a time when the EU prepares to be one of the first major regulators of artificial intelligence. It is crucial that more experts like Professor Neuwirth contribute to the topic of reducing the risks of AI manipulation.Risto Uuk, Policy Researcher, Future of Life Institute (FLI)Table of ContentsPrefaceIntroduction1.

Book SynopsisThe 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.Table of Contents1.
