Download or read book Leveraging Blockchain Technology written by Shaun Aghili and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-11-21 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blockchain technology is a digital ledger system that allows for secure, transparent and tamper-proof transactions. It is essentially an often decentralized, distributed, peer-to-peer database that is maintained by a network of computers instead of a single entity, making it highly resistant to hacking and data breaches. By providing greater security, transparency and efficiency, blockchain technology can help to create a more equitable and sustainable world. Blockchain technology has the potential to help mankind in various ways, some of which include but are not limited to: Decentralization and Transparency: Blockchain technology allows for decentralization of data and transactions, making them more transparent and accountable. This is particularly important in fields such as finance, where trust and transparency are critical. Increased Security: Blockchain technology is inherently secure due to its distributed nature, making it very difficult for hackers to compromise the system. This makes it an ideal solution for data and information storage, particularly in areas such as health and finance, where privacy and security are of utmost importance. Faster Transactions: Blockchain technology eliminates the need for intermediaries, reducing the time and cost associated with transactions. This makes it an ideal solution for international trade, remittances and other types of financial transactions, especially in parts of the world where a great number of individuals do not have access to basic banking services. Immutable Record: One of the fundamental attributes of blockchain is its immutability. Once data is added to the blockchain, it becomes nearly impossible to alter or delete. This feature ensures a tamper-resistant and reliable record of transactions, crucial for maintaining integrity in various industries, including supply chain management and legal documentation. Smart Contracts: Blockchain technology supports the implementation of smart contracts, which are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement directly written into code. This automation streamlines processes and reduces the risk of fraud, particularly in sectors like real estate and legal agreements. Interoperability: Blockchain’s ability to facilitate interoperability allows different blockchain networks to communicate and share information seamlessly. This attribute is pivotal for creating a unified and interconnected ecosystem, especially as various industries adopt blockchain independently. Interoperability enhances efficiency, reduces redundancy and fosters collaboration across diverse sectors. Leveraging Blockchain Technology: Governance, Risk, Compliance, Security, and Benevolent Use Cases discusses various governance, risk and control (GRC) and operational risk-related considerations in a comprehensive, yet non-technical, way to enable business leaders, managers and professionals to better understand and appreciate its various potential use cases. This book is also a must-read for leaders of non-profit organizations, allowing them to further democratize needs that we often take for granted in developed countries around the globe, such as access to basic telemedicine, identity management and banking services.
Download or read book The CISO Playbook written by Andres Andreu and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A CISO is the ultimate guardian of an organization's digital assets. As a cybersecurity leader ,a CISO must possess a unique balance of executive leadership, technical knowledge, strategic vision, and effective communication skills. The ever-evolving cyberthreat landscape demands a resilient, proactive approach coupled with a keen ability to anticipate attack angles and implement protective security mechanisms. Simultaneously, a cybersecurity leader must navigate the complexities of balancing security requirements with business objectives, fostering a culture of cybersecurity awareness, and ensuring compliance with regulatory frameworks. The CISO Playbook aims to provide nothing but real-world advice and perspectives to both up-and-coming cybersecurity leaders as well as existing ones looking to grow. The book does not approach cybersecurity leadership from the perspective of the academic, or what it should be, but more from that which it really is. Moreover, it focuses on the many things a cybersecurity leader needs to “be” given that the role is dynamic and ever-evolving, requiring a high level of adaptability. A CISO's career is touched from many differing angles, by many different people and roles. A healthy selection of these entities, from executive recruiters to salespeople to venture capitalists, is included to provide real-world value to the reader. To augment these, the book covers many areas that a cybersecurity leader needs to understand, from the pre-interview stage to the first quarter and from security operations to the softer skills such as storytelling and communications. The book wraps up with a focus on techniques and knowledge areas, such as financial literacy, that are essential for a CISO to be effective. Other important areas, such as understanding the adversaries' mindset and self-preservation, are covered as well. A credo is provided as an example of the documented commitment a cybersecurity leader must make and remain true to.
Download or read book The Closing of the Auditor s Mind written by David J. O'Regan and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-12-10 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Closing of the Auditor’s Mind?, author David J. O’Regan describes internal auditing as an important "binding agent" of social cohesion, for the accountability of individuals and organizations and also at aggregated levels of social trust. However, O’Regan also reveals that internal auditing faces two severe challenges – an external challenge of adaptation and an internal challenge of fundamental reform. The adaptation challenge arises from ongoing, paradigmatic shifts in accountability and social trust. The command- and- control, vertical hierarchies of traditional bureaucracies are being replaced in importance by networked, flattened patterns of accountability. The most challenging assurance demands of the modern era are increasingly located in three institutional domains – in the inner workings of organizations; in intermediary spaces at organizational boundaries; and in extra-mural locations. Internal auditing continues to cling, barnacle- like, to the inner workings of traditional, bureaucratic structures, and it has little to offer the emerging assurance demands on or beyond institutional boundaries. The reform challenge arises from internal auditing’s prevailing tendency toward a rigid, algorithmic, checklist mindset that suppresses practitioners’ creativity and critical thinking. This trend is increasingly narrowing internal auditing’s intellectual and moral horizons. Under the pressures of these challenges, internal auditing is struggling to fulfil its primary purpose of serving the public interest. O’Regan’s powerful book focuses on: The redistribution of social trust from traditional, hierarchical institutions to diffuse, horizontally distributed networks The perennial validity of the classical virtues as the humane foundation of professional activity The role of creative expertise in promoting professional wisdom The Closing of the Auditor’s Mind? is a philosophical audit of a profession on the threshold of crisis. The book presupposes no prior knowledge of philosophy, nor indeed of auditing. Philosophical technicalities are contained in an Appendix, leaving the main text jargon-free. O’Regan provides original and striking perspectives on the malaise of modern internal auditing, and he proposes radical remedies. This captivating and well-informed book is a must-read for all who are concerned with our collective socio-economic and political well-being.

Download or read book Athletic CEOs written by Stanislav Shekshnia and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2019-09-25 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Athletic CEOs: Leadership in Turbulent Times is about CEOs who do not lead by the book: people who score low on emotional intelligence, do not praise their subordinates, and rarely provide constructive feedback or celebrate small wins. Yet it is also a book about high-performing transformational leaders: Alexander Dyukov (Gazprom Neft), German Gref (Sberbank), Eugene Kaspersky (Kaspersky Lab), and Vitaly Saveliev (Aeroflot). Each of these leaders have created formidable enterprises that deliver sustainable growth in profits and shareholder value, set new standards for the industry, leave a positive impact on their employees and on the country and the regions they operate in; and – most remarkably – continue to reinvent themselves. Having studied the work of these leaders for a decade, Shekshnia, Ulanovsky, and Zagieva’s model of athletic leadership summarizes the unique characteristics of these leaders and their leadership.

Download or read book Making Of An Economic Superpower The Unlocking China s Secret Of Rapid Industrialization written by Yi Wen and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of China is no doubt one of the most important events in world economic history since the Industrial Revolution. Mainstream economics, especially the institutional theory of economic development based on a dichotomy of extractive vs. inclusive political institutions, is highly inadequate in explaining China's rise. This book argues that only a radical reinterpretation of the history of the Industrial Revolution and the rise of the West (as incorrectly portrayed by the institutional theory) can fully explain China's growth miracle and why the determined rise of China is unstoppable despite its current 'backward' financial system and political institutions. Conversely, China's spectacular and rapid transformation from an impoverished agrarian society to a formidable industrial superpower sheds considerable light on the fundamental shortcomings of the institutional theory and mainstream 'blackboard' economic models, and provides more-accurate reevaluations of historical episodes such as Africa's enduring poverty trap despite radical political and economic reforms, Latin America's lost decades and frequent debt crises, 19th century Europe's great escape from the Malthusian trap, and the Industrial Revolution itself.
