Book excerpt: In the Digital Age of the twenty-first century, the question is not if you will be targeted, but when. Are you prepared? If not, where does one begin?

Cybersecurity expert Ray Rothrock has provided for businesses large and small a must-have resource that highlights: the tactics used by today’s hackers, vulnerabilities lurking in networks, and strategies not just for surviving attacks, but thriving while under assault. Businesses and individuals will understand better the threats they face, be able to identify and address weaknesses, and respond to exploits swiftly and effectively. From data theft to downed servers, from malware to human error, cyber events can be triggered anytime from anywhere around the globe.

Book Resilience in the Digital Age

Download or read book Resilience in the Digital Age written by Fred S. Roberts and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-19 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth of a global digital economy has enabled rapid communication, instantaneous movement of funds, and availability of vast amounts of information. With this come challenges such as the vulnerability of digitalized sociotechnological systems (STSs) to destructive events (earthquakes, disease events, terrorist attacks). Similar issues arise for disruptions to complex linked natural and social systems (from changing climates, evolving urban environments, etc.). This book explores new approaches to the resilience of sociotechnological and natural-social systems in a digital world of big data, extraordinary computing capacity, and rapidly developing methods of Artificial Intelligence. Most of the book’s papers were presented at the Workshop on Big Data and Systems Analysis held at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Laxenburg, Austria in February, 2020. Their authors are associated with the Task Group “Advanced mathematical tools for data-driven applied systems analysis” created and sponsored by CODATA in November, 2018. The world-wide COVID-19 pandemic illustrates the vulnerability of our healthcare systems, supply chains, and social infrastructure, and confronts our notions of what makes a system resilient. We have found that use of AI tools can lead to problems when unexpected events occur. On the other hand, the vast amounts of data available from sensors, satellite images, social media, etc. can also be used to make modern systems more resilient. Papers in the book explore disruptions of complex networks and algorithms that minimize departure from a previous state after a disruption; introduce a multigrammatical framework for the technological and resource bases of today’s large-scale industrial systems and the transformations resulting from disruptive events; and explain how robotics can enhance pre-emptive measures or post-disaster responses to increase resiliency. Other papers explore current directions in data processing and handling and principles of FAIRness in data; how the availability of large amounts of data can aid in the development of resilient STSs and challenges to overcome in doing so. The book also addresses interactions between humans and built environments, focusing on how AI can inform today’s smart and connected buildings and make them resilient, and how AI tools can increase resilience to misinformation and its dissemination.

Book The Resilience Handbook

Download or read book The Resilience Handbook written by Elizabeth J Walker and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-18 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainability expert Elizabeth J Walker unlocks the secrets to managing the complexities of a modern world to create a future with less energy use, and a better quality of life. Her invaluable guide is packed with easy to follow advice on every aspect of simple, green living, from honing key skills through to disaster survival. Our current lifestyle in Britain is entirely dependent on non-renewable energy, such as fossil fuels and nuclear power. Without substantial food imports, we cannot support 70 million people on this tiny island. Seventy years ago, just after the self-sufficiency campaigns of the Second World War, we could have fed our entire population. Craftspeople ran small businesses in every High Street. We could have built on this resilience to become a self-sufficient nation but many chose instead to pursue mass consumerism. Now our High Streets are occupied by chain stores who remove money from the local environment as soon as it passes over their counters. The population has almost doubled and resources are depleting across the globe to meet demand. However impossible a solution appears to be, we must remember that this happened slowly, one shopping trip at a time. While we still have access to fossil fuel energy, we should be using it to rebuild a resilient culture and secure a sustainable future for the whole planet. Elizabeth's Resilience Handbook is a positive guiding light which will help you reclaim power and make better choices; there's no time to lose.

Book The Organizational Resilience Handbook

Download or read book The Organizational Resilience Handbook written by Graham Bell and published by Kogan Page Publishers. This book was released on 2020-08-13 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For businesses to grow and be successful their approach to resilience must be defined by a holistic and risk-focused outlook, rather than one which is narrow and dominated by event-oriented continuity practices. The Organizational Resilience Handbook shows that success is as much to do with innovation and the speed with which new products are brought to market as it is with organizations having to deal with unexpected crisis situations. It comprehensively covers the full breadth and depth of the field and introduces related topics such as security, safety, e-commerce, emerging technologies and customer experience. Through adopting a strategic and progressive approach, practitioners can apply the book's methodology to develop an in-depth understanding of resilience within their own organization and use it to effectively engage with the board and senior management in developing strategies for achieving greater resilience capability. A range of high-profile case studies, such as Mercedes, the UK's National Health Service, Alibaba and BP, help to illustrate the concept of resilience by detailing characteristics and behaviours which confirm its meaning. The Organizational Resilience Handbook is a practical guide to self-assessment, benchmarking performance and implementing resilience frameworks in any organization.
