Cybersecurity Operations and Fusion Centers: A Comprehensive Guide to SOC and TIC Strategy by Dr. Kevin Lynn McLaughlin is a must-have resource for anyone involved in the establishment and operation of a Cybersecurity Operations and Fusion Center (SOFC). Think of a combination cybersecurity SOC and cybersecurity Threat Intelligence Center (TIC). In this book, Dr. McLaughlin, who is a well-respected cybersecurity expert, provides a comprehensive guide to the critical importance of having an SOFC and the various options available to organizations to either build one from scratch or purchase a ready-made solution. The author takes the reader through the crucial steps of designing an SOFC model, offering expert advice on selecting the right partner, allocating resources, and building a strong and effective team. The book also provides an in-depth exploration of the design and implementation of the SOFC infrastructure and toolset, including the use of virtual tools, the physical security of the SOFC, and the impact of COVID-19 on remote workforce operations. A bit of gamification is described in the book as a way to motivate and maintain teams of high-performing and well-trained cybersecurity professionals.

The power of the ever-increasing tools and algorithms for prediction and their paradoxical effects on risk. The Age of Prediction is about two powerful, and symbiotic, trends: the rapid development and use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data to enhance prediction, as well as the often paradoxical effects of these better predictions on our understanding of risk and the ways we live. Beginning with dramatic advances in quantitative investing and precision medicine, this book explores how predictive technology is quietly reshaping our world in fundamental ways, from crime fighting and warfare to monitoring individual health and elections. As prediction grows more robust, it also alters the nature of the accompanying risk, setting up unintended and unexpected consequences. The Age of Prediction details how predictive certainties can bring about complacency or even an increase in risks—genomic analysis might lead to unhealthier lifestyles or a GPS might encourage less attentive driving. With greater predictability also comes a degree of mystery, and the authors ask how narrower risks might affect markets, insurance, or risk tolerance generally. Can we ever reduce risk to zero? Should we even try? This book lays an intriguing groundwork for answering these fundamental questions and maps out the latest tools and technologies that power these projections into the future.

В этой книге представлены возможности и функции LibreOffice Calc. Это не учебник по использованию электронных таблиц. В некоторых главах предполагается, что вы знакомы с основами использования электронных таблиц. Вы можете ввести данные (обычно числовые) в электронную таблицу, а затем манипулировать этими данными для получения определённых результатов. В качестве альтернативы можно ввести данные, а затем использовать Calc в режиме «Что, если ...», изменив некоторые данные и наблюдая за результатами, без необходимости повторно вводить все данные. Функции могут быть использованы для создания формул и выполнения сложных вычислений с данными. Эта книга предназначена для начинающих и опытных пользователей Calc, компонента электронных таблиц LibreOffice.

Robust statistics is the study of designing estimators that perform well even when the dataset significantly deviates from the idealized modeling assumptions, such as in the presence of model misspecification or adversarial outliers in the dataset. The classical statistical theory, dating back to pioneering works by Tukey and Huber, characterizes the information-theoretic limits of robust estimation for most common problems. A recent line of work in Computer Science gave the first computationally efficient robust estimators in high dimensions for a range of learning tasks. This reference text for graduate students, researchers, and professionals in Machine Learning theory, provides an overview of recent developments in algorithmic high-dimensional robust statistics, presenting the underlying ideas in a clear and unified manner, while leveraging new perspectives on the developed techniques to provide streamlined proofs of these results. The most basic and illustrative results are analyzed in each chapter, while more tangential developments are explored in the exercises. Throughout this book, we have so far focused on robust algorithms for Unsupervised Learning problems, that is, problems about learning some parameters like the mean or covariance of a distribution. In this chapter, we illustrate how the algorithmic ideas developed in this book can be applied to supervised problems as well. At a high level, Supervised Learning is the task of inferring a function from a set of labeled observations.

The time and cost of securing your website is not much compared to the incalculable reputation and financial losses in case cyber criminals gain control of your website. Learn web security, common attach vectors and how to harden the security of your Wordpress site and the server hosting it. Since its inception in 2003, Wordpress has undergone continual hardening so its core software can address and mitigate common security threats, including the Top 10 list identified by The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) as common security vulnerabilities. Site developers and administrators should pay particular attention to the correct use of core APIS and underlying server configuration which have been the source of common vulnerabilities, as well as ensuring all users employ strong passwords to access Wordpress. Backdoors are meant to be difficult to find, because the longer the door remains, the longer the hacker can access the site. Moreover, they are often disguised as regular files. Inefficient cleaners miss these backdoors. To find them, you would need a powerful software that can comb through all the files on a Wordpress site and distinguish a backdoor from a regular file. Backdoors are often located in themes and plugins which are badly coded.
