Datenschutz nach DS-GVO und Informationssicherheit gewährleisten: Eine kompakte Praxishilfe zur Maßnahmenauswahl: Prozess ZAWAS 4.0 (essentials)
by Stefan MierowskiIn vielen Unternehmen und Behörden gibt es zahlreiche Verfahren, die sowohl die Anforderungen des Datenschutzes als auch die der Informationssicherheit erfüllen müssen. Was liegt da näher als die Auswahl der erforderlichen Sicherungsmaßnahmen in einem einheitlichen Vorgehen zu ermitteln. Mit diesem Werk gibt der Autor dem Praktiker einen Leitfaden an die Hand, den dieser gleichermaßen bei einfachen als auch komplexen Verfahren anwenden kann. Im ersten Teil wird auf Basis des Prozesses ZAWAS die Umsetzung der Anforderungen der DS-GVO (einschl. DSFA) aufgezeigt. Zusätzlich zeigt der Autor im zweiten Teil des Buches auf, wie durch eine kleine Prozesserweiterung dieses Vorgehen auch auf die Ermittlung der erforderlichen Sicherungsmaßnahmen für die Informationssicherheit genutzt werden kann. Dieses Vorgehen reduziert den Gesamtaufwand und führt zu einem höheren Schutzniveau.

Datenwirtschaft und Datentechnologie: Wie aus Daten Wert entsteht
by Marieke Rohde Matthias Bürger Kristina Peneva Johannes MockIn diesem Open-Access-Buch stehen die wirtschaftliche Verwertung von Daten und die dazu gehörenden technischen und organisatorischen Prozesse und Strukturen in Unternehmen im Fokus. Es behandelt Themen wie Datenmonetarisierung, Datenverträge, Data Governance, Informationssicherheit, Datenschutz und die Vertrauenswürdigkeit von Daten.Seit Jahren wird davon gesprochen, dass „Daten das neue Öl“ sind. Expertinnen und Experten sind sich einig: Das Wertschöpfungspotential von Daten ist enorm und das über fast alle Branchen und Geschäftsfelder hinweg. Und dennoch bleibt ein Großteil dieses Potentials ungehoben. Deshalb nimmt dieser Sammelband konkrete Innovationshemmnisse, die bei der Erschließung des wirtschaftlichen Werts von Daten auftreten können, in den Blick. Er bietet praktische Lösungsansätze für diese Hürden an den Schnittstellen von Ökonomie, Recht, Akzeptanz und Technik. Dazu folgen die Autorinnen und Autoren einem interdisziplinären Ansatz und greifen aktuelle Diskussionen aus der Wissenschaft auf, adressieren praxisnahe Herausforderungen und geben branchenunabhängige Handlungsempfehlungen. Den Leserinnen und Lesern soll eine transparente Informationsbasis angeboten werden und damit die Teilnahme an der Datenwirtschaft erleichtert werden. Dieses Buch richtet sich an Entscheidungsträgerinnen und Entscheidungsträger in Unternehmen sowie an Entwicklerinnen und Entwickler datenbasierter Dienste und Produkte. Der Band ist ebenfalls für Fachkräfte der angewandten Forschung wie auch für interdisziplinär Studierende z.B. der Wirtschaftsinformatik, der technikorientierten Rechtswissenschaft oder der Techniksoziologie relevant.

Dave Gorman's Googlewhack! Adventure
by Dave GormanA “hilarious” tale of procrastination, obsession, search engines, and worldwide travel, based on the award-winning one-man comedy show (Booklist). “When he turned 31, British stand-up comic Gorman decided he wanted to be taken seriously, so he landed a contract to write a novel. He took novel writing so seriously he grew a beard. But no matter how he tried, Gorman couldn’t actually write anything. One of his procrastination methods was googlewhacking—a game in which the ‘whacker’ types two different words into Google and tries to get exactly one hit. His first googlewhack, ‘Dork Turnspit,’ led him to a site featuring photographs of women with dogs. Gorman found the site so fascinating that he met its owner and then asked the women-and-dogs fellow to find him another googlewhack. And so begins one of history’s greatest ventures in procrastination. Over the next weeks, Gorman traveled tens of thousands of miles, everywhere from Columbus, Ohio, to Beijing, China, meeting googlewhacks, trying to string together 10 in a row by getting two new googlewhacks from each person he met . . . Gorman’s self-deprecating wit and irrational dedication to his quest make this a hilarious travelogue.” —Booklist “Fresh, funny and entertaining.” —The Daily Mail “An onslaught of amusing anecdotes and digressive detours.” —Publishers Weekly
David Karp: The Mastermind behind Tumblr (Gateway Biographies Ser.)
by Karen Latchana KenneyWhat's more popular than Tumblr? This microblogging site has taken the Web by storm since its founding in 2007. Not much can top it when it comes to capturing its fans' imaginations, except for perhaps its creator, David Karp. Karp developed Tumblr after he tried to start a blog and found the process daunting. With most platforms, a blogger faces a huge, empty text box that begs to be filled with words. It was intimidating for a guy who'd never blogged before. Karp had the idea for tumblelogging—creating short blog posts—and built Tumblr as a platform. It lets users easily post both text and images, making Tumblr highly visual and expressive. Creating a different way to blog came naturally to Karp, who never does things by the book. At fifteen, he dropped out of school. At seventeen, he moved to Tokyo, holing up with a computer and fine-tuning his tech skills. He returned to the states to build a business—but to do that, he stretched the truth. He used a deep voice on the phone with potential clients so they wouldn't guess how young he was. He didn't tell anyone how little experience he had. Yet people could see he had a good thing going with Tumblr. The company quickly found support and grew into what it is today: a groundbreaking site for connection and creation. And as the mastermind behind it, Karp is sure to remain a figure to watch.

But since then, new platforms have emerged, others have become less relevant, and algorithms are incentivizing new styles of content. New skills are necessary to create advertising that builds brand and sales.In his latest book, Vaynerchuk argues that today’s fast-growing businesses, brands, content creators, and influencers have one thing in common: They mastered storytelling in areas of underpriced attention, which predominantly exists across a handful of social media platforms.
