Computer Security

It's something you have probably heard about in some Hollywood blockbuster - the deep web. It's the last online frontier. The place where you can say what you want, do what you want, and buy whatever you want. But there is so much more to the deep web than the Hollywood picture of a lawless frontier land. Sure, there are illicit elements to it. It can be a dangerous place if you don't know what you are doing. But, with all that, it should be remembered what the deep web is all about - it's about freedom of speech in a world of censorship and political correctness.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) develops cybersecurity standards, guidelines, best practices, and other resources to meet the needs of US industry, federal agencies, and the broader public. Our work ranges from specific information that can be put into practice immediately to longer-term research that anticipates advances in technologies and future challenges.

Determine how much of your organization’s operations are dependent on IT. Consider how much your organization relies on information technology to conduct business and make it a part of your culture to plan for contingencies in the event of a cyber incident. Identify and prioritize your organization’s critical assets and the associated impacts to operations if an incident were to occur.

As organizations seek to boost revenue, cut costs, and increase efficiency, they increasingly look to IT as a strategic partner in achieving these objectives. Ten Steps to ITSM Success helps IT to prepare for this role by providing a detailed and practical guide to implementing ITSM best practices. It is aimed at ITSM practitioners and consultants, but will also be of interest to IT directors and C-suite executives looking to transform the role of IT into a value-creating business partner.

Get a fascinating and disturbing look into how state and nonstate actors throughout the world use cyber attacks to gain military, political, and economic advantages.

What do you know about hacking a computer system? If you are like most of us, you can't even get into your own computer if you've forgotten the password. The good news is that hacking is actually a lot easier than you think, and anyone can learn how to do it. As long as you are willing to do the work and to work through the steps patiently, you will also be able to hack the systems that you want to.

This book takes a systemic look at our environment to better understand the risk landscape and take the lead to improve the management of cyber risk. To mitigate cyber risk from disrupting our organization's achievement of its business goals, IT needs to transform how they approach security. This book lays the foundation for a transformative journey for IT to re-imagine their cyber security program through the lens of systems thinking in the context of risk management.

ERISA-covered plans often hold millions of dollars or more in assets and maintain personal data on participants, which can make them tempting targets for cyber-criminals. Responsible plan fiduciaries have an obligation to ensure proper mitigation of cybersecurity risks.

Half a dozen years ago, anthropologist Gabriella Coleman set out to study the rise of this global phenomenon just as some of its members were turning to political protest and dangerous disruption. She ended up becoming so closely connected to Anonymous that the tricky story of her inside-outside status as Anon confidante, interpreter, and erstwhile mouthpiece forms one of the themes of this witty and entirely engrossing book.

In Eisenhower's Sputnik Moment, Yanek Mieczkowski examines the early history of America's space program, reassessing Eisenhower's leadership. He details how Eisenhower approved breakthrough satellites, supported a new civilian space agency, signed a landmark science education law, and fostered improved relations with scientists. Offering a fast-paced account of this Cold War episode, Mieczkowski demonstrates that Eisenhower built an impressive record in space and on earth.

This is a breakdown of the NIST risk management framework process for cybersecurity professionals getting into security compliance. It is written in layman's terms, without the convoluted way it is described in the NIST SP 800-37 revision 2. It goes into what the information system security officer does at each step in the process and where their attention should be focused. Although the main focus is on implementation of the NIST 800 RMF process, this book covers many of the main concepts on certifications, such as the ISC2 CAP.
