Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Start your development process with a blueprint. Most teams jump into coding and leave documentation for later, if at all. Too often this leads to maintenance issues, stalled modernization, and poor business alignment. Spec-driven development flips the order: the specification becomes the single source of truth that drives code, tests, and validation.This pocket guide introduces the AI Unified Process, a lightweight framework that makes Spec-driven development practical in the age of generative AI. It shows how specs (requirements, use cases, entity models) can act as contracts, enabling AI agents and modern tools to generate, validate, and evolve software with far less guesswork.Designed for busy teams, this book focuses on the principles of spec-first development, with AI Unified Process skills and templates as the primary enabler. It also introduces emerging tools like Amazon Kiro and GitHub Spec Kit for context. Alongside practical methodology, you ll work through a hands-on case study that takes you from requirements to executable code. By the end, you ll understand how to apply Spec-driven Development in practice, avoid common pitfalls, and integrate AI into a disciplined, scalable workflow.What You Will LearnCapture requirements in lightweight specsTreat specs as executable contracts for code generation and testingApply the AI Unified Process to projects and team workflowsIntegrate AI agents into a spec-driven lifecyceWho this Book is for:Software developers, tech leads, and architects with basic programming knowledge.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In a hyperconnected, cloud-first operating environment, identity has become the primary control plane for enterprise security, yet in many organizations it remains fragmented, inconsistently governed, and operationally intensive. This book repositions identity not as a discrete access management function, but as a systemic discipline that underpins risk management, regulatory compliance, and digital operations across employees, partners, customers, and third-party ecosystems. The objective is not incremental improvement, but architectural realignment: positioning identity as a governed, measurable, and enforceable enterprise capability.Building an Identity Management Ecosystem challenges the legacy view of identity as simply an access permission model. Instead, it defines identity as a continuously evaluated risk construct, requiring centralized visibility, policy orchestration, and life cycle control. At the core of this model is the concept of an Identity Warehouse, an authoritative aggregation layer that normalizes identity data, supports deterministic automation, and enables real-time risk evaluation across the full identity life cycle. This approach establishes a foundation for auditability, policy consistency, and adaptive access enforcement at scale.The material is grounded in practical architecture: how to design and implement scalable identity ecosystems, integrate with enterprise control layers, and align with evolving regulatory obligations. It addresses the operational realities of modern environments, including hybrid environments, legacy infrastructure, distributed workforces, and third-party dependencies. Just as critically, it elevates identity governance to the executive level, where accountability for identity-related risk must be explicitly owned. Failures in identity are no longer isolated technical events; they are systemic breakdowns with enterprise-wide consequences.This book is intended for identity architects and security leaders responsible for designing, governing, or transforming identity capabilities. Whether establishing a foundational program or rationalizing a mature environment, it provides a structured framework for evolving identity into a strategic control system that reduces attack surface, enforces policy with precision, and enables the organization to operate securely at scale.What You Will Learn- Gain an understanding of the criticality of identity management and the role it plays across both employee and consumer risk mitigation strategies- Know what an Identity Warehouse is, how it benefits the enterprise, and successful deployment strategies- Understand how modern identity protocols are driving both interoperability and risk visibility across the entire ecosystem - Communicate the overall business value of a centralized identity ecosystem, and how it drives new business features, empowers users, and reduces overall enterprise risk.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In a hyperconnected, cloud-first operating environment, identity has become the primary control plane for enterprise security, yet in many organizations it remains fragmented, inconsistently governed, and operationally intensive. This book repositions identity not as a discrete access management function, but as a systemic discipline that underpins risk management, regulatory compliance, and digital operations across employees, partners, customers, and third-party ecosystems. The objective is not incremental improvement, but architectural realignment: positioning identity as a governed, measurable, and enforceable enterprise capability.Buildingthe Enterprise Identity Operating Model challenges the legacy view of identity as simply an access permission model. Instead, it defines identity as a continuously evaluated risk construct, requiring centralized visibility, policy orchestration, and life cycle control. At the core of this model is the concept of an Identity Warehouse, an authoritative aggregation layer that normalizes identity data, supports deterministic automation, and enables real-time risk evaluation across the full identity life cycle. This approach establishes a foundation for auditability, policy consistency, and adaptive access enforcement at scale.The material is grounded in practical architecture: how to design and implement scalable identity ecosystems, integrate with enterprise control layers, and align with evolving regulatory obligations. It addresses the operational realities of modern environments, including hybrid environments, legacy infrastructure, distributed workforces, and third-party dependencies. Just as critically, it elevates identity governance to the executive level, where accountability for identity-related risk must be explicitly owned. Failures in identity are no longer isolated technical events; they are systemic breakdowns with enterprise-wide consequences.This book is intended for identity architects and security leaders responsible for designing, governing, or transforming identity capabilities. Whether establishing a foundational program or rationalizing a mature environment, it provides a structured framework for evolving identity into a strategic control system that reduces attack surface, enforces policy with precision, and enables the organization to operate securely at scale.What You Will LearnGain an understanding of the criticality of identity management and the role itplays across both employee and consumer risk mitigation strategiesKnow what an Identity Warehouse is, how it benefits the enterprise, and successfuldeployment strategiesUnderstand how modern identity protocols are driving both interoperability and risk visibility across the entire ecosystemCommunicate the overall business value of a centralized identity ecosystem, and how itdrives new business features, empowers users, and reduces overall enterpr.…
