Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zero-day vulnerabilities--software vulnerabilities for which no patch or fix has been publicly released-- and their exploits are useful in cyber operations--whether by criminals, militaries, or governments--as well as in defensive and academic settings. This report provides findings from real-world zero-day vulnerability and exploit data that could augment conventional proxy examples and expert opinion, complement current efforts to create a framework for deciding whether to disclose or retain a cache of zero-day vulnerabilities and exploits, inform ongoing policy debates regarding stockpiling and vulnerability disclosure, and add extra context for those examining the implications and resulting liability of attacks and data breaches for U.S. consumers, companies, insurers, and for the civil justice system broadly. The authors provide insights about the zero-day vulnerability research and exploit development industry; give information on what proportion of zero-day vulnerabilities are alive (undisclosed), dead (known), or somewhere in between; and establish some baseline metrics regarding the average lifespan of zero-day vulnerabilities, the likelihood of another party discovering a vulnerability within a given time period, and the time and costs involved in developing an exploit for a zero-day vulnerability"--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Zero Day written by Mark Russinovich and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2012-07-02 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An airliner's controls abruptly fail mid-flight over the Atlantic. An oil tanker runs aground in Japan when its navigational system suddenly stops dead. Hospitals everywhere have to abandon their computer databases when patients die after being administered incorrect dosages of their medicine. In the USA, a nuclear power plant nearly becomes the next Chernobyl when its cooling systems malfunction. At first, these random computer failures seem like unrelated events. But Jeff Aiken, a former government analyst who quit in disgust after witnessing the gross errors that led up to 9/11, thinks otherwise. Jeff fears a more serious attack targeting the United States computer infrastructure is already under way. And as other menacing computer malfunctions pop up around the world, some with deadly results, he realizes that there isn't much time if he hopes to prevent an international catastrophe. Written by a global authority on cyber-security, Zero Day presents a chilling 'what if' scenario that, in a world completely reliant on technology, is more than possible today... it's a cataclysmic disaster just waiting to happen. 'Mark came to Microsoft in 2006 to help advance the state of the art of Windows, now in his latest compelling creation he is raising awareness of the all too real threat of cyber-terrorism.' Bill Gates 'CyberTerrorism. Get used to that word and understand it because you're going to see more of it in the newspapers and hear it on the news in the not too distant future. Mark Russinovich is a CyberSecurity expert who has turned his considerable knowledge into a very scary and too plausible novel. Zero Day is not science fiction; it is science fact, and it is a clear warning of Doomsday.' Nelson DeMille 'While what Mark wrote is fiction, the risks that he writes about eerily mirror many situations that we see today.' Howard A. Schmidt, White House Cyber Security Coordinator 'An up-to-the-moment ticking-clock thriller, Zero Day imagines the next 9/11 in a frightening but all too believable way. An expert in the field, Mark Russinovich writes about cyberterrorism with a mix of technical authority and dramatic verve. I was riveted.' William Landay, author of The Strangler 'When someone with Mark Russinovich's technical chops writes a tale about tech gone awry, leaders in the public and private sector should take notes.' Daniel Suarez, author of Daemon 'Nothing if not topical... a full share of conspiracies, betrayals, violence and against-the-clock maneuvers.' Kirkus Reviews
Download or read book Countdown to Zero Day written by Kim Zetter and published by Crown. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A top cybersecurity journalist tells the story behind the virus that sabotaged Iran’s nuclear efforts and shows how its existence has ushered in a new age of warfare—one in which a digital attack can have the same destructive capability as a megaton bomb. “Immensely enjoyable . . . Zetter turns a complicated and technical cyber story into an engrossing whodunit.”—The Washington Post The virus now known as Stuxnet was unlike any other piece of malware built before: Rather than simply hijacking targeted computers or stealing information from them, it proved that a piece of code could escape the digital realm and wreak actual, physical destruction—in this case, on an Iranian nuclear facility. In these pages, journalist Kim Zetter tells the whole story behind the world’s first cyberweapon, covering its genesis in the corridors of the White House and its effects in Iran—and telling the spectacular, unlikely tale of the security geeks who managed to unravel a top secret sabotage campaign years in the making. But Countdown to Zero Day also ranges beyond Stuxnet itself, exploring the history of cyberwarfare and its future, showing us what might happen should our infrastructure be targeted by a Stuxnet-style attack, and ultimately, providing a portrait of a world at the edge of a new kind of war.

Book excerpt: As leaders increasingly understand the importance of good safety practice to support their business objectives, safety and health practitioners develop better tools and solutions. However, there is still a gulf between these two groups where engagement, communication and shared understanding can be found lacking. From Accidents to Zero opens up the field of safety culture and breaks it down into bite-sized pieces to facilitate new, critical thought and inspire practical action. Based on the concept of creating safety, as opposed to just preventing accidents, each of the 26 chapters in this user-friendly book includes explanation, commentary, reflections and practical activities designed to systematically and sustainably improve workplace safety culture. Core topics range from behaviour to values, daily rituals to unsafe acts, felt leadership to trust. Andrew Sharman's practical guide blends current academic thinking with authoritative guidance and sets up the opportunity for all parts of the organization to close the gap by providing very clear steps to thinking and acting differently. It sparks insight into how both traditional methods and novel approaches can be brought to life in real world situations. From Accidents to Zero offers a clear route to culture change through over one hundred pragmatic ideas to motivate and lead people, influence behaviour and drive a positive evolution in workplace safety.

Addie is brought back into her family's fold, but who is this sixteen-year-old girl with a quiet, burning intelligence now living in the White House? There are those in the president's political circle who find her timely return suspicious. When a national security advisor approaches Darrow Fergusson, Addie's childhood best friend and the son of the president's chief of staff, he doesn't know what to think. How could the girl he's missed for all these years be a threat to national security? Still, at the risk of having his own secrets exposed, Darrow agrees to spy on Addie. He soon realizes that his old friend is much more than the traumatized victim of a sick political fringe group. Addie has come with a mission...but will she choose to complete it?

Book excerpt: In your hands right now is the tool that will, once and for all, help you develop the lifetime habit of consistent exercise so you can take control of your health and live your life with the energy, drive, and determination that you've always craved.Sounds like another overhyped promise that will inevitably be left unfulfilled, doesn't it? I would think so too.But I've seen firsthand the No Zero Days strategy used to develop consistency with my health, my wife's, and hundreds of our clients in the last couple years and now I want to share it with you.Before we dive into what it is and how to use it, let me ask you a question. Does this cycle sound familiar?You feel disgusted, ashamed, and embarrassed at your inability to stay on track with your workouts until finally you say to yourself: you know what, screw this! Time for a change.So you buy a gym membership, that new pair of workout clothes you've had your eyes on, and/or finally Swipe Up and purchase the 6 week workout ebook from your favorite Instagram Fitness Model that you've been following for years and start their program.At first, you're ecstatic. You're riding the wave of motivation as you crush your workout each day and feel invincible. Can't stop, won't stop.Then a week or two goes by and, although you're sore and a little fatigued, you're feeling pretty good about yourself and the progress you're making. New me, who dis?Another week or two goes by and that new lifestyle you've been working so hard on just isn't as fun anymore. The drive to the gym is inconvenient, you're missing out on more and more social events, and to top it all off - the scale has barely moved! Wtf?You know what comes next. Your workouts are back to a bare minimum and you've traded your Power Hours at the gym back in for Happy Hours at the bar.Wash, rinse, repeat. Back to square one. If your past sounds anything similar to this, you are not alone. My wife (Dominique) and I were stuck in this vicious cycle after successfully developing the habits of excessive drinking and late night binge eating while in college.I'll go deeper into our back story in the next chapter but (as you know) this book isn't about us. It's about you. It's about becoming consistent with your workouts so that you never feel stuck, lost, or confused when it comes to your health again.This idea of No Zero Days is not my own and I can't take credit for its origin but I've created an accountability system around it that will be ridiculously simple and easy to follow which will help you become self-sufficient with its execution as my wife and I have done for hundreds of the clients we've worked with.Since most people who buy a journal won't actually stick with it, I'm not going to waste your time by beating around the bush. You're going to receive the tool that can transform your life right here, right now in the introduction because I care more about you actually implementing and creating this sustainable lifetime habit more than anything else. It's the reason I've created this journalThe No Zero Days strategy is very simple. It means that every day, no matter what, you do SOMETHING (no matter how small) to move your body and get one day closer to your goals. The beauty and power of this is that all you need is at least one minute per day to stay on track.The "magic ingredient" to making this simple, powerful tool work will be journaling your daily activity. Let me repeat that because I realize how easy it can be to skim by it: the key to making No Zero Days works is journaling your workout each day here.Ready to begin? Grab your journal and let's get to work.

Download or read book Zero Accidents written by Eduardo Garcia and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-21 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Total Preventive Safety or TPS introduced in this book, based on the development script of Sensei Koichi Kimura, sets out a clear and scalable method of participation of ALL workers in the management of safety at work. It is developed done through total participation and the Japanese thinking of continuous improvement or Kaizen, although, oriented to the Western way of thinking. TPS is based on the methods of Factory Management and Occupational Health and Safety development of Japanese companies pioneering the development of total participation systems such as TQM, TPM and TPS. Although now, many of these developments are being known and collected, perhaps erroneously, under the term "Lean Manufacturing / Management". The target of TPS is ZERO ACCIDENTS and ZERO ACCIDENT PRODUCTION BREAKDOWNSThe means used by TPS, to achieve the main "ZERO" goal, is to guide the whole company towards that common goal, teaching all workers to identify, for themselves, the potential dangers and control the causes of accidents and, as a result avoiding autonomously through Kaizen. This manual can also be used as a script for the development of total participation under ISO-45001 (OSHA'S-180001 update) and underpins its development on many of the methods of the Japan Institute of Japan Occupational Health and Safety (JNIOSH) and the Japan Industrial Safety and Health Association (JISHA).
