Download or read book Psybersecurity written by Oliver Guidetti and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-09-09 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psybersecurity: Human Factors of Cyber Defence is a clarion call to action in the face of a stark reality: over 90% of cyberattacks exploit human vulnerabilities, as highlighted by the 2022 Global Risks Report from the World Economic Forum. This gap between the rapid advancement of cyber security technologies and the slower pace of development in human-centric defences poses a formidable challenge to national security and personal safety. Amidst the dazzling progress of AI technologies like ChatGPT and Microsoft Security Co-Pilot, the human element of cyber security remains critically underdeveloped. Set against the backdrop of the Australian government's ambitious goal to become the world's most cybersecure nation by 2030, this book embarks on a mission to address the overlooked human factors in cyber defence. It advocates for a balanced approach that not only relies on technological advancements but also significantly enhances the human aspects of cyber security. Through an interdisciplinary exploration, Psybersecurity delves into how cyberthreats exploit human vulnerabilities and offers innovative solutions for building resilience against these vulnerabilities. It examines the necessity for cyber security strategies that encompass psychological insights, systemic resilience, and the mitigation of human errors, particularly within critical infrastructures and cyber-physical systems (CPS). Furthermore, this work critiques existing cyber security education frameworks, proposing a comprehensive curriculum that equips individuals with technical skills and the behavioural competencies needed to navigate the cyber landscape ethically and effectively. It also addresses AI's ethical dilemmas and psychological impacts, offering a forward-looking perspective on combating AI-driven harassment and endorsing a new field of study: "Psybersecurity." Psybersecurity: Human Factors of Cyber Defence aims to bridge the gap between cyber security and human sciences, ignite a transformation in understanding, and fortify our digital world. It is an essential read for academics, professionals, and anyone committed to building a safer, more resilient cyber future in alignment with Australia's 2030 vision.

Download or read book Changemaking Network Effects written by Sushmita Ghosh and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2023-07-19 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do only technology companies have a corner on “network effects"—i.e. the magic that happens when users take on the work of growing networks to predominance because their transactional value is so clear? Think Facebook, Google, WhatsApp, Amazon, eBay, Uber, and the like. Or, is there a way to adapt this phenomenon to design equally omnipresent Changemaking Networks by harnessing changemaking network effects between systems that should work together for common good, but don’t—with technology as a possible enabler, but not a founding prerequisite? There is, says Sushmita Ghosh. In the first network effects playbook for social entrepreneurs, she presents the five core principles and accompanying strategies for pulling this off, distilled from extensive interviews with the founding entrepreneurs of 20 pioneering global Changemaking Networks. These have successfully orchestrated the coming together of several systems, their players, and concerned citizens to serve positive social change goals —such as "Zero Homelessness", "Health Care Without Harm" and "Holding Power to Account"—harnessing changemaking network effects. This playbook is a must-read for every social sector organization, company, funding agency, student, or concerned citizen who cares about a new way of organizing mass changemaking to outsmart and outpace the world’s biggest problems. Written for action-takers, it leaves every reader with a clear sense about how to get started on building Changemaking Networks. Today.

Download or read book Education and Innovative Perspectives in Higher Education written by Ana Luísa Rodrigues and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-04-30 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization, digitalization, and a rapid technological development of many areas of life and society, bring humanity to another level of development. Changes in the educational organizations are inevitable and the university must meet new requirements in a new paradigm (Gafurov, Safiullin, Akhmetshin, Gapsalamov, & Vasilev, 2020). Universities, as institutions capable of thinking the future, assume an increasingly relevant role at the level of the growing importance of science and its social and economic impact. In this line of thought, their metamorphosis should be promoted. This renewal requires four movements: from employability to general, humanistic, and scientific education; from the excellence of academic productivism to the valorisation of pedagogy and teaching and training work; from entrepreneurialism to a sense of community; from entrepreneurship to public responsibility (Nóvoa, 2019).

Download or read book PropTech and Real Estate Innovations written by Olayiwola Oladiran and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-22 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook serves as a guide to real estate students and educators on the various property innovations and digital technologies that continue to shape the property industry. The advancement of PropTech in the last few decades has led to significant changes in real estate systems, operations, and practice, and this new textbook provides insight on the past, present, and future of PropTech innovations that have spread across the value chain of real estate through planning, development, management, finance, investment, operations, and transactions. The textbook approaches this subject from the real estate components, asset classes, and submarkets and links them to the associated innovations and digital technologies. It concludes by reviewing the role of education, innovation, skill development, and professionalism as major elements of the future of real estate operations and practice. This book’s unique contributions are in putting the “property” element at the forefront and then illustrating how technology can enhance the various areas of real estate; the focus on how the different innovations and technologies can enhance the economic, environmental, social, and physical efficiency of real estate; and its coverage of some non‐technological innovations like flexible working and more practical areas of real estate innovation such as skills, employability, creativity, and education. It contains 21 case studies and 29 case summaries, which can serve as practice exercises for students. This book will be useful to students in helping them build a knowledge base and understanding of innovation and digital technologies in the industry. Real estate educators can use the textbook as a guide to incorporate real estate innovation and digital technologies into their current teaching and also to develop their real estate curricula through PropTech‐related modules and courses where necessary. It will also be valuable to real estate researchers in search of the theoretical and conceptual linkages, as well as industry practitioners who seek insight into the current and future potential of digital technologies and their applications to real estate operations and practice.
