The workforce is evolving rapidly and with an almost reckless abandon. Demand for professional expertise in techspace and computer technology is growing rapidly, as every company wants and needs each essential part of their business, including commerce, human resources, point of sale, and pricing systems to be reliable and secure. CompTIA is one of the few reliable and trusted information technology supportive resources that enable fledgling professionals to achieve professional success within the industry without necessarily requiring a degree.

We’ve all read the cybersecurity horror stories: a prominent company exposes the private information of their customers only to scramble after the fact to apologize and safeguard the data. Cybersecurity is often an afterthought, a much lower priority than profit—until a data breach threatens the bottom line anyway. In The Cyber-Elephant in the Boardroom, data security expert and CEO Mathieu Gorge, along with a host of guests, shows why protecting a company’s data should be top of mind for C-suites and corporate boards.

Technology can be a powerful tool for learning, for solving humanity's toughest problems, and for bringing us closer together.

Digital for Good offers a refreshingly positive framework for preparing kids to be successful in a digital world - one that shifts the focus away from what kids shouldn't do and instead encourages them to use technology proactively and productively.

Based on insights gained from academic research, as well as interviews with UK-based security professionals from various sectors, The Psychology of Information Security describes how resolving conflicts between security compliance and human behavior explains the importance of careful risk management and how to align a security program with wider business objectives, providing methods and techniques to engage stakeholders and encourage buy-in.

Why do some people want to erase themselves completely from the Internet? I used to wonder about the same till I found the reason and had to do it myself.

Blockchain technology could affect governance itself by supporting new organizational structures that promote more democratic and participatory decision making. Primavera De Filippi and Aaron Wright acknowledge this potential and urge the law to catch up. That is because disintermediation - a blockchain's greatest asset - subverts critical regulation. By cutting out middlemen, such as online operators and multinational corporations, blockchains run the risk of undermining the capacity of governmental authorities to supervise activities in banking, commerce, law, and other vital areas.

From 2016 to 2020, Jacob Helberg led Google’s global internal product policy efforts to combat disinformation and foreign interference. During this time, he found himself in the midst of what can only be described as a quickly escalating two-front technology cold war between democracy and autocracy.

We have never before in human history been able to share so much about ourselves so quickly. Neither have we ever been so exposed to forces that want to take advantage of that capability. Taking Control of Your Personal Data will open your eyes to the surprising extent of that exposure and will discuss your options for keeping your personal data as safe as possible. Your instructor, Professor Jennifer Golbeck of the College of Information Studies at University of Maryland, College Park, will show you what really goes on behind the scenes with the data you share all day long.

Microservices Security in Action is filled with solutions, teaching best practices for throttling and monitoring, access control, and microservice-to-microservice communications. Along the way, authors and software security experts Prabath Siriwardena and Nuwan Dias shine a light on important concepts like throttling, analytics gathering, access control at the API gateway, and microservice-to-microservice communication.

Hiding in Plain Sight will explain my research about this increasing element that allows groups of individuals to steal and often be provided with privileged, personal information. Yet somehow, we are not adequately aware. If we were, I wouldn't hear of devastating financial losses from individuals that are not usually easily fooled. Many refer to much of this fraudulent activity as identity theft, but I believe that there is more going on here than what can be seen on the surface.

In this book, Levi Gundert, chief security officer at Recorded Future, draws on his decades of experience to develop a comprehensive cybersecurity framework emphasizing risk over threats. The key is for the technical side of any organization to present intelligence to executives and other decision-makers in terms they understand: the language of risk. All operational outcomes must be framed in a clear, concrete way that tells a story of profit, loss, and risk reduction.
