Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In today's world, cybersecurity attacks and security breaches are becoming the norm. Unfortunately, we are not immune to it, and any individual and entity is at dire risk. The best and only thing that we can do is to mitigate the risks as much as much as possible so that they do not happen at all. But even when a security breach does indeed happen, the immediate reaction is to contain it so that it does not penetrate further into the information technology/network infrastructure. From there, mission-critical processes need to be restored, until the business can resume a normal state of operations, like it was before the security breach.But another key step here is to investigate how and why the security breach happened in the first place.The best way to do this is through what is known as 'digital forensics'.This is where specially trained digital forensics investigators collect and comb through every piece of evidence to determine this. Eventually, the goal is then to use this evidence in a court of law so the cyberattacker can be made to answer for their crime and eventually be brought to justice.However, the area of digital forensics is a large one, and many topics around it can be covered. Also, generative AI is being used to not only help in the analysis of the evidence but also to help automate the digital forensics software packages that are available today. Therefore, in this book, the following is covered:Examples of security breaches and overview of digital forensics.How digital forensics can be used to investigate the loss or theft of data.An introduction to the SQL Server Database.A review of the SQL Injection Attack.How generative AI can be used in digital forensics. 112 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Zero Hunger (SDG-2) and Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG-12) of the United Nations are very crucial aspects for any economy in the world. In terms of Agricultural Sustainability and Food Security, the world should see to it that agriculture is sustainable enough to ensure food security for all its people. While nobody should be deprived of food for whatever reasons and at the same time nobody should use the agricultural resources (both inputs and outputs) in a manner harmful to the society at large. The use of any resources in terms of production and consumption, and vice versa, should take into account the carbon-footprint and greenhouse gas emissions. While the producers have a major role in the optimum use of the resources, the consumers, for whatever items, should take into account the responsible consumption practices. Since production and consumption are like two sides of a coin, complementary to each other, any change in one of the aspects will have its repercussions on the other one.
