Internet Security

Censorship's Grave looks at modern methods of circumventing censorship and counteracting effects of information warfare. It argues that autocrats are losing the battle of censorship in an information age they no longer control. Unfortunately, the new information age contains a spectrum of arguments - from truth to blatant lies. The book was written by an author who has traveled extensively in countries with restricted media and used circumvention tools in all of them. It conveys a warning to not trade one disinfo system for another one.

Cloud security is one of the hottest fields around, with the global cloud market expected to become a multi-billion-dollar industry by 2030. The demand for cloud security professionals is at an all-time high, and now is the best time to take that next step in your cybersecurity career!

Author Niels Starling shares his unusual and unconventional narrative about information security. In a counterintuitive approach, Niels argues that the majority of internet users have too high a focus on information protection and online security. We all think our information is at risk when actually hiding it away runs the greatest risk.

Cyber attacks are a growing problem that’s affecting an increasing number of devices and people. The current numbers are staggering. Hackers create and deploy over 300,000 new malware programs every single day on networks, individual computers, and other devices. And there are nearly half a million ransomware attacks every year.

Cyber security is here to stay. Do you often wonder how cyber security applies to your everyday life, what’s at risk, and how can you specifically lock down your devices and digital trails to ensure you are now “hacked”? Our society has become saturated with internet-connected devices and trackers everywhere. From home routers to your mobile phones, most people are easily hacked if targeted. In this introductory audiobook, we will cover verified steps and tactics on how to increase the level of cyber security in an organization and as an individual.

The Internet was meant to set us free. But have we unwittingly handed too much away to shadowy powers behind a wall of code, all manipulated by a handful of Silicon Valley utopians, ad men, and venture capitalists? And, in light of recent data breach scandals around companies like Facebook and Cambridge Analytica, what does that mean for democracy, our delicately balanced system of government that was created long before big data, total information, and artificial intelligence? In this urgent polemic, Jamie Bartlett argues that through our unquestioning embrace of big tech, the building blocks of democracy are slowly being removed.

Cybersecurity experts agree: No one security measure is foolproof to defend against attacks. Ransomware is a new threat. It comes from nowhere and can potentially lock you out of your data and applications until a ransom is paid, making it difficult to recover. These cybercriminals are extremely skilled and motivated. They want to access as much confidential personal information as possible. Security specialists recommend using every tool at your disposal, including draconian measures like backups, encrypting data files, redacting sensitive information on your devices and firewalls.

It’s 2022. Do you know if your online information is safe? According to a study by the University of Maryland, hackers attack internet-connected computers every 39 seconds. The same technology that’s made information sharing easier has put our privacy at risk more than ever. But it doesn’t stop there. International warfare is now waged on the digital stage, changing how countries influence global conflicts' outcomes. We live in an era of computers, data, and digital connections. This book will give you a better understanding of the current threats and solutions from the world of cyber warfare.

Ransomware is a form of malware designed to encrypt files on a device, rendering them and the systems that rely on them unusable. Malicious actors then demand ransom in exchange for decryption. Over time, malicious actors have adjusted their ransomware tactics to be more destructive and impactful, and have also exfiltrated victim data and pressured victims to pay by threatening to release the stolen data.

In this bracing book, Michael Chertoff makes clear that our laws and policies surrounding the protection of personal information, written for an earlier time, need to be completely overhauled in the Internet era. In offering his compelling call for action, Chertoff argues that what is at stake is not so much the simple loss of privacy, which is almost impossible to protect, but of individual autonomy - the ability to make personal choices free of manipulation or coercion.

Why GAO did this study. The internet is a global system of interconnected networks used by billions of people across the world to perform personal, educational, commercial, and governmental tasks. The US Government over time has relinquished its oversight role of the internet. A global, multistakeholder community made up of many organizations shapes internet policy, operations, and security. But the ongoing and increasing reliance on the internet underscores the need to understand the risks to its underlying architecture.

As a leader, you need to drive your organization’s approach to cybersecurity as you would any other hazard (e.g. how you identify risk, reduce vulnerabilities, and plan for contingencies). This requires an investment of time and money, as well as the collective buy-in of your management team. Your investment drives actions and activities, and these build and sustain a culture of cybersecurity.

In today's digital age, digital identity is an integral part of our lives. From online banking to social media, we use digital identities to access services, interact with others, and manage our daily lives. Because of this, we are becoming increasingly vulnerable to exploits targeting our online identity.

As the times have shifted in the last decade or so, we have started to depend more and more upon our computers, as well as other electronic devices for our needs. Our bank account information to our zip code, social security numbers, and so much more have all been encrypted into the depths of our tech devices. So it’s only natural for you to worry about your own safety when you know the extent of your vulnerability and dependency upon the technology around you.

As technology advances, it would be ignorant and foolish to ignore the importance of the Internet in our lives. Along with the Internet comes the human right to browse it in privacy.
