Möller, 2023-04-18 In today’s digital transformation environments, a rigorous cybersecurity approach to effective risk management — including contingency planning, outlining immediate actions, preparing post-breach responses — is central to defending organizations’ interconnected computer systems, networks, and infrastructure resources from malicious cyber-attacks. Specifically, cybersecurity technologies, processes, and practices need to be generalized and applied to intrusion detection and prevention measures. This entails analyzing profiles of cyber-attackers and building cyber-attack models for behavior simulation that can effectively counter such attacks. This comprehensive volume aims to cover all essential aspects of cybersecurity in digital transformation and to provide a framework for considering the many objectives and requirements involved. In addition to introducing theoretical foundations, the work also offers practical techniques for defending against malicious cybercriminals. Topics and features: Explores cybersecurity’s impact on the dynamics of interconnected, complex cyber- and physical systems, infrastructure resources, and networks Provides numerous examples of applications and best practices Considers methods that organizations can use to assess their cybersecurity awareness and/or strategy Describes anomaly intrusion detection, a key tool in thwarting both malware and theft (whether by insiders or external parties) of corporate data Addresses cyber-attacker profiles, cyber-attack models and simulation, cybersecurity ontology, access-control mechanisms, and policies for handling ransomware attacks Discusses the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, MITRE Adversarial Tactics, Techniques and Common Knowledge, CIS Critical Security Controls, and the ISA/IEC 62442 Cybersecurity Standard Gathering all the relevant information, this practical guide is eminently suitable as a self-study resource for engineers, scientists, computer scientists, and chief information officers. Further, with its many examples of best practices, it can serve as an excellent text for graduate-level courses and research into cybersecurity. Dietmar P. F.

These are all emblems of modern life. You might ask what we would do without them. But an even more interesting question might be what would we do if we had to actually explain how they worked? The United States is riding a whirlwind of technological change. To be sure, there have been periods, such as the late 1800s, when new inventions appeared in society at a comparable rate. But the pace of change today, and its social, economic, and other impacts, are as significant and far reaching as at any other time in history. And it seems that the faster we embrace new technologies, the less we're able to understand them. What is the long-term effect of this galloping technological revolution? In today's new world, it is nothing less than a matter of responsible citizenship to grasp the nature and implications of technology. Technically Speaking provides a blueprint for bringing us all up to speed on the role of technology in our society, including understanding such distinctions as technology versus science and technological literacy versus technical competence. It clearly and decisively explains what it means to be a technologically-literate citizen. The book goes on to explore the context of technological literacyâ€the social, historical, political, and educational environments. This readable overview highlights specific issues of concern: the state of technological studies in K-12 schools, the reach of the Internet into our homes and lives, and the crucial role of technology in today's economy and workforce. Three case studies of current issuesâ€car airbags, genetically modified foods, and the California energy crisisâ€illustrate why ordinary citizens need to understand technology to make responsible decisions. This fascinating book from the National Academy of Engineering is enjoyable to read and filled with contemporary examples. It will be important to anyone interested in understanding how the world around them works. |

Wildfires rage across the American West. Glaciers collapse in the Artic. Politicians, activists, and the media espouse a common message: climate change is destroying the planet, and we must take drastic action immediately to stop it. Children panic about their future, and adults wonder if it is even ethical to bring new life into the world. Enough, argues bestselling author Bjorn Lomborg. Climate change is real, but it's not the apocalyptic threat that we've been told it is. Projections of Earth's imminent demise are based on bad science and even worse economics. In panic, world leaders have committed to wildly expensive but largely ineffective policies that hamper growth and crowd out more pressing investments in human capital, from immunization to education. False Alarm will convince you that everything you think about climate change is wrong -- and points the way toward making the world a vastly better, if slightly warmer, place for us all. |

But how will these cities accommodate such masses? Who will build them and where? How can they be sustained and their inhabitants provided for? Here, Jeff Dondero imagines the super cities of the future and explores the ways in which they can be sustainably built, how transportation will move masses of people without cars, how people will be fed and where waste will go, and how we will move to cities underground, under the sea, in the atmosphere, into space and on to other planets. It describes some of the smart systems for buildings and homes and some of the new ways food and materials enough for such masses will be supplied. Will super cities be the answer to our bursting population? And if they will, how can we best sustain and supply them? Dondero offers suggestions and a blueprint for the future. |

| forbes technology council cost: Low-Carbon Oriented Improvement Strategy for Flexibility and Resiliency of Multi-Energy Systems Yumin Zhang, Lu Zhang, Rufeng Zhang, Hao Wang, Shuai Yao, 2024-09-18 Due to the inherent volatility and randomness, the increasing share of energy from renewable resources presents a challenge to the operation of multi-energy systems with heterogeneous energy carriers such as electricity, heat, hydrogen, etc. These factors will make the systems hard to adjust their supply and demand flexibly to maintain energy balance to ensure reliability. Further, this hinders the development of a low-carbon and economically viable energy system. By making full use of the synergistic interaction of generation, transmission, load demand, and energy storage, a three-fold approach focused on quantifying demand flexibility, evaluating supply capabilities, and enhancing resilience can unlock the flexibility potential across various sectors of new energy systems. This approach provides an effective means of facilitating the transition from conventional energy systems to low-carbon, clean-energy-oriented paradigms. However, huge challenges arising from renewable energy pose great obstacles to the aforementioned solution pathway. The main objectives of this Research Topic are： 1. Develop advanced carbon emission accounting and measurement techniques for emerging multi-energy systems 2. Design effective methods for predicting renewable electricity generation 3. Proposed efficient methods for quantitative assessment of uncertainty from renewables and loads 4. Put forward advanced evaluation, optimization, and planning strategies incorporating diverse flexibility resources 5. Design multifaceted market mechanisms and collaborative frameworks balancing economics and low carbon footprint 6. Develop operational control and resilience-enhancement techniques for distribution networks under large-scale distributed energy integration |

| forbes technology council cost: The Zero Marginal Cost Society Jeremy Rifkin, 2014-04-01 The New York Times–bestselling author describes how current trends will create an era when anything and everything is available for almost nothing. In The Zero Marginal Cost Society, New York Times–bestselling author Jeremy Rifkin uncovers a paradox at the heart of capitalism that has propelled it to greatness but is now taking it to its death—the inherent entrepreneurial dynamism of competitive markets that drives productivity up and marginal costs down, enabling businesses to reduce the price of their goods and services in order to win over consumers and market share. (Marginal cost is the cost of producing additional units of a good or service, if fixed costs are not counted.) While economists have always welcomed a reduction in marginal cost, they never anticipated the possibility of a technological revolution that might bring marginal costs to near zero, making goods and services priceless, nearly free, and abundant, and no longer subject to market forces. Now, a formidable new technology infrastructure—the Internet of things (IoT)—is emerging with the potential of pushing large segments of economic life to near zero marginal cost in the years ahead. Rifkin describes how the Communication Internet is converging with an Energy Internet and Logistics Internet to create a new technology platform that connects all. There are billions of sensors feeding Big Data into an IoT global neural network. Prosumers can connect to the network and use Big Data, analytics, and algorithms to accelerate efficiency, dramatically increase productivity, and lower the marginal cost of producing and sharing a wide range of products and services to near zero, just like they now do with information goods. The plummeting of marginal costs is spawning a hybrid economy—part capitalist market and part Collaborative Commons—with far reaching implications for society, according to Rifkin. Hundreds of millions of people are already transferring parts of their economic lives to the global Collaborative Commons. Prosumers are plugging into the IoT and making and sharing their own information, entertainment, green energy, and 3D-printed products at near zero marginal cost. Students are enrolling in free massive open online courses (MOOCs) that operate at near zero marginal cost. Social entrepreneurs are even bypassing the banking establishment and using crowdfunding to finance startup businesses as well as creating alternative currencies in the fledgling sharing economy. In this new world, social capital is as important as financial capital, access trumps ownership, sustainability supersedes consumerism, cooperation ousts competition, and “exchange value” in the capitalist marketplace is increasingly replaced by “sharable value” on the Collaborative Commons. Rifkin concludes that capitalism will remain with us, albeit in an increasingly streamlined role, primarily as an aggregator of network services and solutions, allowing it to flourish as a powerful niche player in the coming era. We are, however, says Rifkin, entering a world beyond markets where we are learning how to live together in an increasingly interdependent global Collaborative Commons. |
