Book SynopsisHow we can evade, protest, and sabotage today's pervasive digital surveillance by deploying more data, not less—and why we should.With Obfuscation, Finn Brunton and Helen Nissenbaum mean to start a revolution. They are calling us not to the barricades but to our computers, offering us ways to fight today's pervasive digital surveillance—the collection of our data by governments, corporations, advertisers, and hackers. To the toolkit of privacy protecting techniques and projects, they propose adding obfuscation: the deliberate use of ambiguous, confusing, or misleading information to interfere with surveillance and data collection projects. Brunton and Nissenbaum provide tools and a rationale for evasion, noncompliance, refusal, even sabotage—especially for average users, those of us not in a position to opt out or exert control over data about ourselves. Obfuscation will teach users to push back, software developers to keep their user data safe

Book SynopsisMost applications generate large datasets, like social networking and social influence programs, smart cities applications, smart house environments, Cloud applications, public web sites, scientific experiments and simulations, data warehouse, monitoring platforms, and e-government services. Data grows rapidly, since applications produce continuously increasing volumes of both unstructured and structured data. Large-scale interconnected systems aim to aggregate and efficiently exploit the power of widely distributed resources. In this context, major solutions for scalability, mobility, reliability, fault tolerance and security are required to achieve high performance and to create a smart environment. The impact on data processing, transfer and storage is the need to re-evaluate the approaches and solutions to better answer the user needs. A variety of solutions for specific applications and platforms exist so a thorough and systematic analysis of existing solutions for data science, data analytics, methods and algorithms used in Big Data processing and storage environments is significant in designing and implementing a smart environment.Fundamental issues pertaining to smart environments (smart cities, ambient assisted leaving, smart houses, green houses, cyber physical systems, etc.) are reviewed. Most of the current efforts still do not adequately address the heterogeneity of different distributed systems, the interoperability between them, and the systems resilience. This book will primarily encompass practical approaches that promote research in all aspects of data processing, data analytics, data processing in different type of systems: Cluster Computing, Grid Computing, Peer-to-Peer, Cloud/Edge/Fog Computing, all involving elements of heterogeneity, having a large variety of tools and software to manage them. The main role of resource management techniques in this domain is to create the suitable frameworks for development of applications and deployment in smart environments, with respect to high performance. The book focuses on topics covering algorithms, architectures, management models, high performance computing techniques and large-scale distributed systems.Table of ContentsPreface. Contributors. Mobility-Aware Solutions for Edge Data Center Deployment in Urban Environments. Effective Data Assimilation with Machine Learning. Semantic Data Model for Energy Efficient Integration of Data Centres in Energy Grids. Managing the safety in smart buildings using semantically-enriched BIM and occupancy data approach. Belief Rule-Based Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization. NoSQL Environments and Big Data Analytics for Time Series. A Territorial Intelligence-based Approach for Smart Emergency Planning.

Book SynopsisA long-time chief data scientist at Amazon shows how open data can make everyone, not just corporations, richer Every time we Google something, Facebook someone, Uber somewhere, or even just turn on a light, we create data that businesses collect and use to make decisions about us. In many ways this has improved our lives, yet, we as individuals do not benefit from this wealth of data as much as we could. Moreover, whether it is a bank evaluating our credit worthiness, an insurance company determining our risk level, or a potential employer deciding whether we get a job, it is likely that this data will be used against us rather than for us. In Data for the People, Andreas Weigend draws on his years as a consultant for commerce, education, healthcare, travel and finance companies to outline how Big Data can work better for all of us. As of today, how much we benefit from Big Data depends on how closely the interests of big companies align with our own. Too often, outdated standards of control and privacy force us into unfair contracts with data companies, but it doesn''t have to be this way. Weigend makes a powerful argument that we need to take control of how our data is used to actually make it work for us. Only then can we the people get back more from Big Data than we give it. Big Data is here to stay. Now is the time to find out how we can be empowered by it.Trade Review"[Weigend] makes a strong case for what we need-the right to amend or blur the data that pertains to us, the freedom to experiment with it and take it with us to other sites and services, and the ability to insist that data refineries be clear about how they're using our information." -Wall Street Journal "A hugely interesting read, packed to bursting with intriguing examples... The depth and breadth of Weigend's experience is clear in the sheer range of technologies and business models he describes. He explains critical concepts clearly and concisely, at a pace that should keep both experts and those new to the field hooked." -New Scientist "Weigend is a bold explorer of the technological future. His compelling book maps the opportunities of a world without secrets." -Daniel Kahneman, author of Thinking Fast and Slow "Data for the People asks us to think seriously about the data we generate in our online world, and how we are increasingly losing control over it. These products and services that generate data are not going away. And with advances in artificial intelligence enabling computers to do traditionally human tasks in a scalable manner, this data can and will continue to be utilized across the majority of decisions by institutions. Andreas acknowledges and embraces this future, and provides a framework and a call to action to ensure that in this world, as consumers, we can use and control our data in ways that are both transparent and beneficial to us." -Vinod Khosla, Partner at Khosla Venture "The author maintains the intellectual complexity of his subject while remaining accessible to readers searching for the truth about the salability of their privacy, the nuances of data sharing, and the ways to cloak their digital footprints. A cautionary, cohesively delivered update on the scope and science of human quantification." -Kirkus Reviews "Data-abundant, ubiquitous, personal-is restructuring our competing values of privacy, convenience, identity, and control. No one understands this better than Weigend, and with Data For the People, he helps the rest of us understand it as well." -Clay Shirky, author of Here Comes Everybody "Andreas Weigend is the preeminent thinker on the economic power of social data. Data for the People is a brilliant guide for how individuals, companies and policymakers can tap data's value while retaining our human values. Thought provoking-and action-inspiring!" -Kenneth Cukier, Senior Editor, The Economist and coauthor of Big Data "Data is the new oil-the key means of production in modern capitalism. Big data refineries such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, and OKCupid influence where we work, what we buy, who we marry, and how we vote-in ways that very few people understand, much less control. This is an excellent book about the biggest ever challenge to human privacy and autonomy. Social data expert Andreas Weigend explains the incredibly detailed data we give to these companies, how it's used to nudge our decisions, and how we can take back control so our data empower us rather than exploiting us."-Geoffrey Miller, associate professor of psychology at the University of New Mexico "Finally a highly readable and heartfelt book about data by a leading technologist! Andreas Weigend writes with superb clarity about the most important issue of the early 20th century-the data economy and its threat to our privacy and individual rights. The narrative of his own personal journey from East Germany to becoming the Chief Scientist at Amazon.com is also compelling. Overall a major work by one of the world's leading authorities on data." -Andrew Keen, author of The Internet Is Not the Answer "This book is a landmark in the debate on privacy and data sharing. Everyone whose data is being captured and mined-in other words, everyone-should heed Weigend's call for data literacy and support his 'Data Bill of Rights.'" -Pedro Domingos, author of The Master Algorithm and professor of computer science at the University of Washington

Book SynopsisAs use of information technology increases, we worry that our personal information is being shared inappropriately, violating key social norms and irreversibly eroding privacy. This book describes how societies ought to go about deciding when to allow technology to lead change and when to resist it in the name of privacy.Trade Review"Privacy in Context is a major achievement. It is rare for anyone to come into a field so well plowed and make a genuine contribution. Grounded in extensive knowledge of the theoretical literature and a real engagement with the practicalities of informational instability that surround us, Nissenbaum's new framing of the tensions raised by surveillance and processing of information is important. Practical and oriented to the world and its social practices, rather than to abstractions or formal claims, contextual integrity is a concept both rich and detailed, with which any serious debate about privacy in the networked environment must now engage." -- Yochai Benkler * Harvard University *"[S]ubtle and important . . . There is no doubt that Nissenbaum thinks with the learned . . Before the book appeared Nissenbaum's work on privacy was already well respected and widely cited. The present book should seal her reputation as one of a handful of leading privacy theorists today. My guess is that the book will be required reading for a long while to come for all who want to make significant contributions to the debate about the ethics of privacy." -- Tony Doyle * Journal of Value Inquiry *"This much anticipated book, written by one of the world's most brilliant, dynamic philosophers of technology, offers a model for predicting and explaining privacy breaches. It also furnishes pragmatic solutions for resolving policy disputes about newly proposed socio-technical information systems. It solves puzzles not easily resolved by traditional privacy theory, advances a coherent framework for rejecting the private/public dichotomy as the basis for the right to privacy, and contributes to a deeper understanding of judicial constructs used to resolve hard cases. Helen Nissenbaum has achieved what many of us have yearned for." -- Ian Kerr, Canada Research Chair in Ethics, Law and Technology * University of Ottawa *"This book provides a refreshing, contemporary look at information privacy in the twenty-first century. Nissenbaum persuasively argues that privacy must be understood in its social context, and she provides an insightful and illuminating account of how to do so. For anyone considering the burgeoning problems of information privacy, Privacy in Context is essential reading." -- Daniel J. Solove * George Washington University Law School and author of Understanding Privacy *"Nissenbaum has written a badly needed and accessible book that can serve as a guide through the emerging digital maze without demanding that we surrender our right to privacy in return... Her book offers a straightforward and articulate account of the role that privacy plays in a democratic society, the ways in which technology undermines it, and the steps we need to take to ensure that we don't succumb to the faulty logic of data-hungry corporations." -- Evgeny Morozov * Times Literary Supplement *"[Privacy in Context] takes the privacy discourse several steps ahead. Nissenbaum sets an ambitious goal and accomplishes it in grand fashion. She proposes a detailed framework to better understand privacy issues and assist in prescribing privacy policies that meets the needs of the 21st century . . . [T]he book breaks new paths. It signals the beginning of a new privacy paradigm (an assessment that will be easier judged in hindsight) and is an important contribution to the growing law and technology literature." -- Michael D.

Book SynopsisThis groundbreaking book filters down the wealth of information on cybersecurity to the most relevant and highly applicable aspects for coaches, therapists, researchers and all other practitioners handling confidential client conversations and data. Whether working with clients online or face to face, practitioners today increasingly rely on the cyberspace as part of their practice. Through a solutions-focused lens, the book provides easy-to-apply practical advice and guidelines using non-technical language, enabling practitioners to mitigate the rising threat of cybercrime, which can no longer be ignored. By the last page the reader will have knowledge and awareness towards: securing devices, spotting financial fraud, mitigating the risks of online communications, operating more securely from a home office and handling a cyber event if one occurs.Clear, concise, and easy to follow, this guide is a pivotal resource for coaches, therapists, researcheTrade Review"Rapid technological change is fast-tracking the development and utilisation of digital innovations in applied psychological practice. The past five years have dramatically increased the digitisation of traditional psychological acts and services ranging from psychodiagnostics to e-Therapy/Coaching. These innovations aim to scale the availability of psychological services and increase accessibility for traditionally marginalised communities. COVID-19 has made these digital psychological services more than a novelty but established such as the norm. Psychological practitioners have adopted new technological approaches to their assessment and development practices to compensate for the barriers COVID-19 restrictions have placed on their traditional approaches to practice. However, are we aware of the challenges this new way of work poses to our practices and our clients? Do we know the risks that this new way of work poses for our clients' safety, security, and psychological well-being? And are our practices prepared for managing the risks associated with digital mental health services? In her new book, Alexandra explores the contemporary challenges, risks, and ethical dilemmas that digital mental health services pose to data security and client welfare. Specifically, she provides a practitioner friendly guide for managing digital client data, mitigating risks and securing your practice against cybercrime. Her book further attempts to enhance practitioners’ digital competence to ensure that you have a future-fit, resilient and digitally secured practice. This book is a ‘must’ for any therapist, psychologist, or coach venturing into the world of digital mental health."Prof Dr Llewellyn van Zyl, Extraordinary Professor in Positive Psychology, NWU"Nobody expects to be the victim of cybercrime or defrauded. Yet thousands become victims of cybercriminals each day. Imagine the feeling if criminals steal and leak your clients’ biggest secrets? The good news is that you can help prevent it from happening by reading this book. Alexandra, both a coach and cyberfraud expert herself, provides actionable and proven tips on how to ensure that you will not become the next victim of the criminals. Read this book - and learn from one of the best!"Mindaugas Kutkaitis, Fraud Prevention Expert, Financial Services"This book is a must-have for any coach, therapist or organizations handling sensitive data whose eyes glaze over when the word "cybersecurity" is mentioned! It’s jam packed with information and tips to ensure you’re safely and securely protecting your business and your clients’ confidentiality and information more broadly. It also helps you create a trusted and safe environment which is the foundation of a strong client relationship."Dr Suzy Green, D Psych (Clin) MAPS, The Positivity Institute - Founder & CEO "Whether we like it or not, cybersecurity should be part of our lives in this time and age in which cybercrime is proliferating. In a solution-focused approach, Alexandra Fouracres describes how to navigate this new challenge in an effective and inspiring manner. This book should be read by all practitioners."Dr Itai Ivtzan, School Director, School of Positive Transformation"A fascinating book which is an essential read for those of us who work in digital environments as coaches, mentors and consultants. Alexandra helps identify the current risks and what individuals and coaching businesses can do to protect themselves, their clients and their business from viruses, scams, data theft and other online risks."Prof Jonathan Passmore, Professor of Coaching & Behavioural Change & Director, Henley Centre for Coaching & Behavioural Change "As psychologists bound by a code of ethics, we are all aware of the need to ensure the confidentiality of our clients and data security relating to our practice. However, few of us are experts in this area. In this book, Alexandra brings together her experience as a fraud intelligence and prevention manager and a coaching psychologist to inform and support practitioners' awareness of risks, prevention and compliance strategies and the ability to detect and react to potential breaches. Having recently worked with the British Psychological Society to establish standards for Chartership in Coaching Psychology, I'm confident that this book will help those within our particular domain of practice to understand and meet standards relating to client confidentiality and compliance with data privacy legislation." Dr Marie Stopforth CPsychol. AFBPsS"We all need to realize, that the cyber security challenge will not be solved by any single actor, service provider or authority. Everybody needs to take actions and show responsibility and contribute to a joint defence against the dark. We need to consider, how it would feel if our lack of security, led to a client falling victim to a cyber crime. I have experienced, myself, how a therapist got his computer infected with malware and in the beginning unknowingly leaked customers sensitive information, and after I informed him, kept leaking data, simply caused by a lack of understanding and knowledge of how to handle the situation. Therefore, this book is like rain in a desert."Sune Gabelgård, Head of Financial Crime Prevention, MobilePay"This book gives the reader a non-nonsense, digestible way for therapists and coaches to approach IT security. It shows the reader that with sensible, attainable behaviours it is possible to minimise risks for both themselves their valued clients, as well as practical examples to learn from. It reinforces an important message, that good digital hygiene is becoming less about raw technology and more about a holistic, defensive mindset."Sean Henley, Technology Strategy & Resilience Manager, Financial Services "Cybersecurity... Oftentimes people will get intimidated by this term. That is something for the 'IT Expert' to sort out, not me. No one will actually try to attack my information or account. That is for the 'big companies'. That is a misconception this book will help clear up. It really can happen to us all. With the tools and information given to you in this book, you will realize there is in fact a lot you can do yourself. The book will also show, you do not need to be an 'IT Expert' to secure yourself and your business. Take the opportunity to read this book. It will be an eye opener."H. Erik Inberg, Senior Technical Manager, Support & Projects"This reassuring, practical and informative guide to coach and therapist cyber-security, focused on how to protect client data, is long overdue. Alexandra has a knack of presenting what could otherwise be a complicated diet of ideas in a wholly digestible format. In straightforward, encouraging language, she raises practitioner awareness of potential issues, improving competence and confidence in preventing fraud, promoting security online, carefully considering ethical practice and always looking for the best outcomes for both practitioner and client. Every coach and therapist needs to read this book."Ruth Hughes, Course Director, Cambridge Coaching Certificate Programme "Understanding the psychology behind cybersecurity, is to understand one of the biggest threats to the economical world as we know it today. As a cyber security professional, I have at first hand seen not only how well organised and imposing cyberattacks can be on enterprises and also how intimidating and debilitating it can be for people. One thing is the loss of money, the other and most important thing, is the impact it has on a human psyche, and how it can ruin lives, relationships and trust in the human race. Putting in place good cybersecurity is then the stepping stone for securing your practices and keeping clients safe."Kim Ottobrøker, Compliance specialist, Danish utility sector"Fraud and cybercrime are increasing problems, impacting all areas of society, and putting organizations as well as individuals at risk. Today, no one is safe, and anyone can become a target of criminals operating on a global scale. In this highly relevant book on Cybersecurity, Alexandra J.S Fouracres, shares her extensive knowledge about the subject with the reader and gives a thorough introduction to the concepts and how criminals operate. This book is highly recommended, as it provides the reader with the necessary tools and knowledge needed to avoid becoming a victim of fraud and cybercrime."Kristian E.
