Becoming a Software Company: Accelerating Business Success through Software
by Amarinder SidhuThere is a call to action reverberating in company boardrooms, earnings calls, technology conferences, and IT departments: every company should be a software company. The call makes intuitive sense. Software, when done right, creates infinite business leverage. It is not a coincidence that 7 out of 10 largest companies in the world are software companies. But how does a company become a software company? This book will help enterprises transform into a software company.The software-driven future that Marc Andreessen predicted in his now-famous 2011 essay is here but unevenly distributed. While enterprises, and teams within, grasp the software technologies, they lack the context to leverage them — much less understand the fundamental principles that drive the business value from software: What is the real essence of the software-based transformation? If every enterprise is implementing the same technologies, what is the source of differentiation? How do you manage the inherent complexity of software such that it doesn't destroy software's value? How do you build and nurture talent so that it is empowered to create the best solutions for your customers' problems? This book will answer all of that and more.The boundary between enterprise and consumer software is rapidly blurring. IEEE reports that 40% of the cost of a new car comes from software . Elsewhere, software is becoming synonymous with medical devices and therapeutics . FinTech and EdTech trends are primarily about personalization through software at an internet-scale. The struggling enterprises are up against it. They have no choice but to figure out how to ship consumer-grade software. It is an existential problem for them.This book compiles the timeless principles of building good software, yet often disregarded while building and deploying software products for enterprises.What You'll LearnLeverage people to build creative software solutionsManage development complexity so that we keep software focused on user problemsUnderstand software technology as a means of producing valueWho This Book Is ForEnterprise Executive Management, Enterprise IT Management Professionals, Software Practitioners within Enterprise

Becoming the Hacker: The Playbook for Getting Inside the Mind of the Attacker
by Adrian PruteanuWeb penetration testing by becoming an ethical hacker. Protect the web by learning the tools, and the tricks of the web application attacker. Key Features Builds on books and courses on penetration testing for beginners Covers both attack and defense perspectives Examines which tool to deploy to suit different applications and situations Book Description Becoming the Hacker will teach you how to approach web penetration testing with an attacker's mindset. While testing web applications for performance is common, the ever-changing threat landscape makes security testing much more difficult for the defender. There are many web application tools that claim to provide a complete survey and defense against potential threats, but they must be analyzed in line with the security needs of each web application or service. We must understand how an attacker approaches a web application and the implications of breaching its defenses. Through the first part of the book, Adrian Pruteanu walks you through commonly encountered vulnerabilities and how to take advantage of them to achieve your goal. The latter part of the book shifts gears and puts the newly learned techniques into practice, going over scenarios where the target may be a popular content management system or a containerized application and its network. Becoming the Hacker is a clear guide to web application security from an attacker's point of view, from which both sides can benefit. What you will learn Study the mindset of an attacker Adopt defensive strategies Classify and plan for standard web application security threats Prepare to combat standard system security problems Defend WordPress and mobile applications Use security tools and plan for defense against remote execution Who this book is for The reader should have basic security experience, for example, through running a network or encountering security issues during application development. Formal education in security is useful, but not required. This title is suitable for people with at least two years of experience in development, network management, or DevOps, or with an established interest in security.
Becoming-Social in a Networked Age (Routledge Studies in New Media and Cyberculture)
by Neal ThomasThis book examines the semiotic effects of protocols and algorithms at work in popular social media systems, bridging philosophical conversations in human-computer interaction (HCI) and information systems (IS) design with contemporary work in critical media, technology and software studies. Where most research into social media is sociological in scope, Neal Thomas shows how the underlying material-semiotic operations of social media now crucially define what it means to be social in a networked age. He proposes that we consider social media platforms as computational processes of collective individuation that produce, rather than presume, forms of subjectivity and sociality.
Bedienungsanleitung für den Shitstorm: Wie gute Kommunikation die Wut der Masse bricht (essentials)
by Lorenz SteinkeDer Shitstorm ist die hässliche Fratze der Social Media. Wer als Unternehmen oder Organisation gegen die Regeln des Web verstößt oder seine Kunden verärgert, ertrinkt schnell in einer Flut wütender Posts und Rants über alle Kanäle des Web 2. 0. Kluge Unternehmen entwickeln deshalb bereits Krisenkommunikationsstrategien, die fit für die neuen Herausforderungen des digitalen Wutbürgertums machen. Wer noch weiter denkt und bewusst auf der Welle der Online-Empörung surft, nutzt den Shitstorm sogar als Marketing-Instrument. Doch nicht immer gelingt dieser Versuch. Nur wer die Spielregeln von Shitstorms versteht und beherzigt, kann auch sicher damit umgehen, ohne unterzugehen
Bedrohen KI-Algorithmen die psychotherapeutische Freiheit?: Wie künstliche Intelligenz der psychotherapeutischen Qualität dienen kann (essentials)
by Frank JacobiDie therapeutische Freiheit bezieht sich auf das Recht und die Verantwortung von Therapeut:innen, die beste Behandlungsmethode für Patient:innen auszuwählen. Es ist möglich, dass der Einsatz von KI-Algorithmen in der Psychotherapie diese Freiheit bedroht, wenn er z.B. die therapeutischen Entscheidungen dominiert oder ersetzt. Jedoch kann der Einsatz von KI-Algorithmen auch positive Auswirkungen haben, etwa im Bereich der Qualitätssicherung. Möglicherweise können Algorithmen-basierte Tools uns darin unterstützen, typische menschliche Verzerrungen und Unzulänglichkeiten bei komplexen Vorhersagen zu reduzieren. Sollten sich dann also Psychotherapeut:innen nicht die Freiheit nehmen, technische Hilfsmittel (incl. zukünftiger KI-Algorithmen) zur Unterstützung heranzuziehen…?Die wichtigste Freiheits-Bedrohung scheint darin zu liegen, dass Psychotherapeut:innen sich selbst beschränken könnten oder sich durch KI das Denken abnehmen lassen. Dieses essential gibt einen Einblick und stellt weiterführende Fragen.
