Next-Generation Enterprise Security and Governance (Security, Audit and Leadership Series)
by Mohiuddin AhmedThe Internet is making our daily lives as digital as possible, and this new era is called the Internet of Everything (IoE). The key force behind the rapid growth of the Internet is the technological advancement of enterprises. The digital world we live in is facilitated by these enterprises’ advances and business intelligence. These enterprises need to deal with gazillions of bytes of data, and in today’s age of General Data Protection Regulation, enterprises are required to ensure privacy and security of large-scale data collections. However, the increased connectivity and devices used to facilitate IoE are continually creating more room for cybercriminals to find vulnerabilities in enterprise systems and flaws in their corporate governance. Ensuring cybersecurity and corporate governance for enterprises should not be an afterthought or present a huge challenge. In recent times, the complex diversity of cyber-attacks has been skyrocketing, and zero-day attacks, such as ransomware, botnet, and telecommunication attacks, are happening more frequently than before. New hacking strategies would easily bypass existing enterprise security and governance platforms using advanced, persistent threats. For example, in 2020, the Toll Group firm was exploited by a new crypto-attack family for violating its data privacy, where an advanced ransomware technique was launched to exploit the corporation and request a huge figure of monetary ransom. Even after applying rational governance hygiene, cybersecurity configuration and software updates are often overlooked when they are most needed to fight cyber-crime and ensure data privacy. Therefore, the threat landscape in the context of enterprises has become wider and far more challenging. There is a clear need for collaborative work throughout the entire value chain of this network. In this context, this book addresses the cybersecurity and cooperate governance challenges associated with enterprises, which will provide a bigger picture of the concepts, intelligent techniques, practices, and open research directions in this area. This book serves as a single source of reference for acquiring the knowledge on the technology, process, and people involved in next-generation privacy and security.
Next-Generation Ethics: Engineering a Better Society
by Ali E. AbbasMany of the significant developments of our era have resulted from advances in technology, including the design of large-scale systems; advances in medicine, manufacturing, and artificial intelligence; the role of social media in influencing behaviour and toppling governments; and the surge of online transactions that are replacing human face-to-face interactions. These advances have given rise to new kinds of ethical concerns around the uses (and misuses) of technology. This collection of essays by prominent academics and technology leaders covers important ethical questions arising in modern industry, offering guidance on how to approach these dilemmas. Chapters discuss what we can learn from the ethical lapses of #MeToo, Volkswagen, and Cambridge Analytica, and highlight the common need across all applications for sound decision-making and understanding the implications for stakeholders. Technologists and general readers with no formal ethics training and specialists exploring technological applications to the field of ethics will benefit from this overview.

Nexus of Sustainability: Understanding of FEWSE Systems І (Studies in Systems, Decision and Control #559)
by Artur Zaporozhets Viacheslav Bogdanov Anatoly ZagorodnyThe intricate interplay between food, energy, water, societal dynamics, and the environment constitutes the bedrock of contemporary global challenges. In recent decades, this convergence has emerged as a focal point for scientific inquiry, policy formulation, and societal discourse. This book seeks to meticulously unravel the complexities inherent in this nexus, shedding profound light on the interconnected risks, vulnerabilities, and transformative opportunities that define our quest for sustainability in the twenty-first century. The materials of this book were prepared mainly by authors working on the joint project between the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) of Ukraine “Integrated robust modeling and management of food-energy-water-land use nexus for sustainable development”, and on the project “Comprehensive analysis of robust preventive and adaptive measures of food, energy, water, and social management in the context of systemic risks and consequences of COVID-19” (0122U000552) of the NAS of Ukraine. Members of the System Analysis Committee of the NAS of Ukraine were also involved in the preparation of book chapters. The authors dedicate this book to the memory of the Academician of NAS of Ukraine, Professor Yuri Ermoliev, who died in October 2022 and made a fundamental contribution to stochastic optimization as a basic tool for quantitative risk management. This book largely follows his ideas about risk management and its applications.
Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI
by Yuval Noah Harari#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Sapiens comes the groundbreaking story of how information networks have made, and unmade, our world.&“Strikingly original . . . A historian whose arguments operate on the scale of millennia has managed to capture the zeitgeist perfectly.&”—The Economist&“This deeply important book comes at a critical time as we all think through the implications of AI and automated content production. . . . Masterful and provocative.&”—Mustafa Suleyman, author of The Coming WaveFor the last 100,000 years, we Sapiens have accumulated enormous power. But despite all our discoveries, inventions, and conquests, we now find ourselves in an existential crisis. The world is on the verge of ecological collapse. Misinformation abounds. And we are rushing headlong into the age of AI—a new information network that threatens to annihilate us. For all that we have accomplished, why are we so self-destructive?Nexus looks through the long lens of human history to consider how the flow of information has shaped us, and our world. Taking us from the Stone Age, through the canonization of the Bible, early modern witch-hunts, Stalinism, Nazism, and the resurgence of populism today, Yuval Noah Harari asks us to consider the complex relationship between information and truth, bureaucracy and mythology, wisdom and power. He explores how different societies and political systems throughout history have wielded information to achieve their goals, for good and ill. And he addresses the urgent choices we face as non-human intelligence threatens our very existence.Information is not the raw material of truth; neither is it a mere weapon. Nexus explores the hopeful middle ground between these extremes, and in doing so, rediscovers our shared humanity.

Nicht hackbare Rechner und nicht brechbare Kryptographie
by Wolfgang A. Halang Robert FitzViren, Würmer, Trojanische Pferde, das Arsenal der Hackerangriffe auf IT-Infrastrukturen scheint unerschöpflich. Nachdem Computerwurm Stuxnet 2010 das Steuerungssystem eines iranischen Atomkraftwerks befallen hatte und Computer durch die Malware Flame ferngesteuert und ausspioniert wurden, sorgte 2015 ein Virus namens Duqu 2.0 für Schlagzeilen, weil er die IT von Unternehmen in Europa, Asien und den USA infiziert hatte. Was aber wenn Computer grundsätzlich gegen solche Hackerangriffe immun wären? Wissenschaftlich fundiert und zugleich verständlich geschrieben, zeigen die beiden IT-Experten in ihrem Buch, wie Computer mithilfe von bekannten technischen Verfahren so konstruiert werden können, dass Hackerangriffe grundsätzlich an ihnen abprallen. Zum einen setzen die Autoren für die IT-Sicherheit auf eine Rechnerarchitektur, die in mindestens zwei Segmente unterteilt ist: in einen schreibgeschützten und für Programme nicht beeinflussbaren Bereich sowie einen nicht-schreibgeschützten Bereich für Daten gibt, die sich oft ändern. Kombiniert unter anderem mit effektiven Verschlüsselungs- und Verschleierungsverfahren, einer sichereren Authentifizierung der Nutzer etwa durch biometrische Merkmale sowie sicheren virtuellen Adressen und Seitenverzeichnisstartadressen werden Computer unangreifbar für Software, die unerlaubt in den Rechner eindringt und Daten abschöpft.Die Autoren gehen in ihrer technisch-wissenschaftlich exakten Darstellung auf folgende Fragen ein:- Wie sicher sind Rechner und Netze heute?- Wie funktionieren Angriffe mit Stuxnet, Flame und Duqu und wie die Methoden zu ihrer Abwehr?- Welchen Schutz bieten Harvard- und Von-Neumann-Architekturen (VNA)?- Wie sehen neuartige Schutzmaßnahmen aus und wie können mobile Geräte geschützt werden?- Wie funktioniert sichere Datenverschlüsselung und -verschleierung?Das Buch richtet sich an IT-Experten und IT-Sicherheitsverantwortliche in Unternehmen und Organisationen und an alle, die sich für Fragen der Daten- und Netzsicherheit interessieren. Für das Verständnis sind nur elementare Vorkenntnisse erforderlich.
