Practical AI for Cybersecurity

Practical AI for Cybersecurity

The world of cybersecurity and the landscape that it possesses is changing on a dynamic basis. It seems like that hardly one threat vector is launched new variants of it are already on the way. IT Security teams in businesses and corporations are struggling daily to fight off any cyberthreats that they are experiencing. On top of this they are also asked by their CIO or CISO to model what future Cyberattacks could potentially look like and ways as to how the lines of defenses can be further enhanced. IT Security teams are overburdened and are struggling to find ways in order to keep up with what they are being asked to do. Trying to model the cyberthreat landscape is a very laborious process because it takes a lot of time to analyze datasets from many intelligence feeds. What can be done to accomplish this Herculean task? The answer lies in Artificial Intelligence (AI). With AI an IT Security team can model what the future Cyberthreat landscape could potentially look like in just a matter of minutes. As a result this gives valuable time for them not only to fight off the threats that they are facing but to also come up with solutions for the variants that will come out later. Practical AI for Cybersecurity explores the ways and methods as to how AI can be used in cybersecurity with an emphasis upon its subcomponents of machine learning computer vision and neural networks. The book shows how AI can be used to help automate the routine and ordinary tasks that are encountered by both penetration testing and threat hunting teams. The result is that security professionals can spend more time finding and discovering unknown vulnerabilities and weaknesses that their systems are facing as well as be able to come up with solid recommendations as to how the systems can be patched up quickly.

Ethics of Data and Analytics Concepts and Cases

Ethics of Data and Analytics Concepts and Cases

The ethics of data and analytics in many ways is no different than any endeavor to find the right answer. When a business chooses a supplier funds a new product or hires an employee managers are making decisions with moral implications. The decisions in business like all decisions have a moral component in that people can benefit or be harmed rules are followed or broken people are treated fairly or not and rights are enabled or diminished. However data analytics introduces wrinkles or moral hurdles in how to think about ethics. Questions of accountability privacy surveillance bias and power stretch standard tools to examine whether a decision is good ethical or just. Dealing with these questions requires different frameworks to understand what is wrong and what could be better. Ethics of Data and Analytics: Concepts and Cases does not search for a new different answer or to ban all technology in favor of human decision-making. The text takes a more skeptical ironic approach to current answers and concepts while identifying and having solidarity with others. Applying this to the endeavor to understand the ethics of data and analytics the text emphasizes finding multiple ethical approaches as ways to engage with current problems to find better solutions rather than prioritizing one set of concepts or theories. The book works through cases to understand those marginalized by data analytics programs as well as those empowered by them. Three themes run throughout the book. First data analytics programs are value-laden in that technologies create moral consequences reinforce or undercut ethical principles and enable or diminish rights and dignity. This places an additional focus on the role of developers in their incorporation of values in the design of data analytics programs. Second design is critical. In the majority of the cases examined the purpose is to improve the design and development of data analytics programs. Third data analytics artificial intelligence and machine learning are about power. The discussion of power—who has it who gets to keep it and who is marginalized—weaves throughout the chapters theories and cases. In discussing ethical frameworks the text focuses on critical theories that question power structures and default assumptions and seek to emancipate the marginalized. | Ethics of Data and Analytics Concepts and Cases

Handbook of Algorithms for Physical Design Automation

Handbook of Algorithms for Physical Design Automation

The physical design flow of any project depends upon the size of the design the technology the number of designers the clock frequency and the time to do the design. As technology advances and design-styles change physical design flows are constantly reinvented as traditional phases are removed and new ones are added to accommodate changes in technology. Handbook of Algorithms for Physical Design Automation provides a detailed overview of VLSI physical design automation emphasizing state-of-the-art techniques trends and improvements that have emerged during the previous decade. After a brief introduction to the modern physical design problem basic algorithmic techniques and partitioning the book discusses significant advances in floorplanning representations and describes recent formulations of the floorplanning problem. The text also addresses issues of placement net layout and optimization routing multiple signal nets manufacturability physical synthesis special nets and designing for specialized technologies. It includes a personal perspective from Ralph Otten as he looks back on the major technical milestones in the history of physical design automation. Although several books on this topic are currently available most are either too broad or out of date. Alternatively proceedings and journal articles are valuable resources for researchers in this area but the material is widely dispersed in the literature. This handbook pulls together a broad variety of perspectives on the most challenging problems in the field and focuses on emerging problems and research results.
