Cybersecurity for Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities: A Guide to Detection and Prevention
by Luis AyalaLearn how to detect and prevent the hacking of medical equipment at hospitals and healthcare facilities. A cyber-physical attack on building equipment pales in comparison to the damage a determined hacker can do if he/she gains access to a medical-grade network as a medical-grade network controls the diagnostic, treatment, and life support equipment on which lives depend. News reports inform us how hackers strike hospitals with ransomware that prevents staff from accessing patient records or scheduling appointments. Unfortunately, medical equipment also can be hacked and shut down remotely as a form of extortion. Criminal hackers will not ask for a $500 payment to unlock an MRI, PET or CT scan, or X-ray machine--they will ask for much more. Litigation is bound to follow and the resulting punitive awards will drive up hospital insurance costs and healthcare costs in general. This will undoubtedly result in increased regulations for hospitals and higher costs for compliance. Unless hospitals and other healthcare facilities take the steps necessary to secure their medical-grade networks, they will be targeted for cyber-physical attack, possibly with life-threatening consequences. Cybersecurity for Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities is a wake-up call explaining what hackers can do, why hackers would target a hospital, the way hackers research a target, ways hackers can gain access to a medical-grade network (cyber-attack vectors), and ways hackers hope to monetize their cyber-attack. By understanding and detecting the threats, you can take action now--before your hospital becomes the next victim. What You Will Learn: Determine how vulnerable hospital and healthcare building equipment is to cyber-physical attack Identify possible ways hackers can hack hospital and healthcare facility equipment Recognize the cyber-attack vectors--or paths by which a hacker or cracker can gain access to a computer, a medical-grade network server, or expensive medical equipment in order to deliver a payload or malicious outcome Detect and prevent man-in-the-middle or denial-of-service cyber-attacks Detect and prevent hacking of the hospital database and hospital web application Who This Book Is For: Hospital administrators, healthcare professionals, hospital & healthcare facility engineers and building managers, hospital & healthcare facility IT professionals, and HIPAA professionals

Code Generation with Roslyn
by Nick HarrisonLearn how Roslyn's new code generation capability will let you write software that is more concise, runs faster, and is easier to maintain. You will learn from real-world business applications to create better software by letting the computer write its own code based on your business logic already defined in lookup tables. Code Generation with Rosyln is the first book to cover this new capability. You will learn how these techniques can be used to simplify systems integration so that if one system already defines business logic through lookup tables, you can integrate a new system and share business logic by allowing the new system to write its own business logic based on already existing table-based business logic. One of the many benefits you will discover is that Roslyn uses an innovative approach to compiler design, opening up the inner workings of the compiler process. You will learn how to see the syntax tree that Roslyn is building as it compiles your code. Additionally, you will learn to feed it your own syntax tree that you create on the fly. What You'll Learn Structure logic to be stored in database design Build complex conditional logic based on lookup data in the database Compile code that you generate programmatically Discover generated code and run it dynamically to implement new business logic Debug problems in generated code Deploy and access generated code Who This Book Is For Back end developers in very dynamic fast-paced business environments.

Beyond jQuery
by Ray NicholusLearn about the most important concepts surrounding web development and demystify jQuery. This book gives you the confidence to abandon your jQuery crutches and walk freely with the power of the web API and JavaScript. Beyond jQuery doesn't just throw code at you - everything is explained in detail from the perspective of a jQuery developer. jQuery is often injected into web applications and libraries with no logical reason for pulling it in as a dependency. Many web developers don't really know when they need to use jQuery, and when they don't - it's just a standard step when setting up a new library or web application. But relying solely on jQuery as your window to the web leaves large gaps in your knowledge. This in turn results in frustration when the abstraction that jQuery provides "leaks" and exposes you to the native aspects of the browser. This book educates developers, reveals the magic behind jQuery, helps you solve common problems without it, and gives you more confidence to embrace the power of the web API and standardized JavaScript. What You'll Learn Use the web API and standardized JavaScript Determine when you need jQuery and when you don't Review common JavaScript utility functions Work with HTML elements Who This Book Is For Any web developer who is interested in learning how to live without jQuery, and deepening their understanding of web development.

C++/CLI Primer: For .NET Development
by Vivek RagunathanEnter a world of hardcore back-end, server-side enterprise programming on the . NET platform. This book presents some of the important aspects of the C++/CLI language that often become a barrier preventing programmers from exploring further. The C++/CLI Primer is a powerful but compact book that will guide you through that barrier. Many of today's complex transactions and enterprise applications count on C++/CLI. Visual Studio 2015 and earlier versions support C++/CLI if you program using an IDE. C++/CLI is unattractive, clumsy, and hard when compared to other modern languages that run on the . NET platform. That's because it is powerful. Like light that can be viewed as a wave or particle, C++/CLI can be exercised as an unmanaged or managed or actually as the sandwich language to do mixed mode programming, which is its real power. That's also why it is unique. What You'll Learn Discover C++/CLI and why is it used in . NET programming Work with types, primitive types, object creation, and managed and abstract classes Use abstract classes in C++/CLI Harness the power of nullptre Implement code that uses boxing/unboxing Use equality/identity, properties, enums, strings, arrays, and more Who This Book Is For Experienced Microsoft . NET application developers, familiar with . NET framework and C++.

What you'll learn: Build simple, low cost input/output interfaces including rotary encoders Interface with 5-volt devices from a 3-volt Raspberry Pi system Apply analog to digital and digital to analog conversions on the Pi Read potentiometers (volume control) from the Pi Determine step, directions, and velocity of a rotary encoder Perform remote interfacing using the I2 PCF8574 chip Work with external CMOS devices like the 74HC595 (in C++) Who this book is for:Students and hobbyists interested in building custom interfaces for their Raspberry Pis.
Appium Recipes
by Shankar GargLearn how Appium is implemented in Java and integrated with tools, such as TestNG, Cucumber, Maven, Jenkins and Selenium Grid to create test automation frameworks. With these frameworks, you can test Mobile Apps on simulators or real devices and create CICD pipelines. This brief book focuses on using Appium for automation on both Android and iOS platforms. Appium Recipes illustrates test automation framework and Cloud Test Lab scenarios that will empower you to take full advantage of Appium's critical features to achieve continuous integration and deployments in your live projects. Readers will also learn about mobile-specific actions such as Swipe, Scroll, and Tap, and mobile-specific locators such as iOSUIAutomator. What You'll Learn: Set up Appium for mobile, Web and Hybrid App Automation Use mobile-specific actions, such as Swipe, Scroll, and Tap Use mobile-specific locators, such as iOSUIAutomator Integrate Appium with Selenium Grid and Cloud Test Labs, such as Perfecto and Sauce Labs Who This Book Is For: Readers familiar with the basic concepts of test automation, mobile landscape, core java programming (basic)and maven, and Appium.
