Digital Governance: Leading and Thriving in a World of Fast-Changing Technologies
by Jeremy Swinfen Green Stephen DanielsDigital Governance provides managers with a simple and jargon-free introduction to the impact that digital technology can have on the governance of their organisations. Digital technology is at the heart of any enterprise today, changing business processes and the way we work. But this technology is often used inefficiently, riskily or inappropriately. Worse perhaps, many organisational leaders fail to grasp the opportunities it offers and thus fail to "transform" their organisations through the use of technology. This book provides an explanation of the basic issues around the opportunities and risks associated with digital technology. It describes the role that digital technology can play across organisations (and not just behind the locked doors of the IT department), giving boards and top management the insight to develop strategies for investing in and exploiting digital technology as well as arming them with the knowledge required to ask the right questions of specialists and to detect when the answers given are evasive or irrelevant. International in its scope, this essential book covers the fundamental principles of digital governance such as leadership, capability, accountability for value creation and transparency of reporting, integrity and ethical behaviour.
Cyber Security: An Introduction for Non-Technical Managers
by Jeremy Swinfen GreenCyber security involves protecting organisations from cyber risks, the threats to organisations caused by digital technology. These risks can cause direct damage to revenues and profits as well as indirect damage through reduced efficiency, lower employee morale, and reputational damage. Cyber security is often thought to be the domain of specialist IT professionals however, cyber risks are found across and within organisations. Unfortunately, many managers outside IT feel they are ill equipped to deal with cyber risks and the use of jargon makes the subject especially hard to understand. For this reason cyber threats are worse than they really need to be. The reality is that the threat from cyber risks is constantly growing, thus non-technical managers need to understand and manage it. As well as offering practical advice, the author guides readers through the processes that will enable them to manage and mitigate such threats and protect their organisations.

Cyber Warfare: A Multidisciplinary Analysis (Routledge Studies in Conflict, Security and Technology)
by James GreenThis book is a multi-disciplinary analysis of cyber warfare, featuring contributions by leading experts from a mixture of academic and professional backgrounds. Cyber warfare, meaning interstate cyber aggression, is an increasingly important emerging phenomenon in international relations, with state-orchestrated (or apparently state-orchestrated) computer network attacks occurring in Estonia (2007), Georgia (2008) and Iran (2010). This method of waging warfare – given its potential to, for example, make planes fall from the sky or cause nuclear power plants to melt down – has the capacity to be as devastating as any conventional means of conducting armed conflict. Every state in the world now has a cyber-defence programme and over 120 states also have a cyber-attack programme. While the amount of literature on cyber warfare is growing within disciplines, our understanding of the subject has been limited by a lack of cross-disciplinary engagement. In response, this book, drawn from the fields of computer science, military strategy, international law, political science and military ethics, provides a critical overview of cyber warfare for those approaching the topic from whatever angle. Chapters consider the emergence of the phenomena of cyber warfare in international affairs; what cyber-attacks are from a technological standpoint; the extent to which cyber-attacks can be attributed to state actors; the strategic value and danger posed by cyber conflict; the legal regulation of cyber-attacks, both as international uses of force and as part of an on-going armed conflict, and the ethical implications of cyber warfare. This book will be of great interest to students of cyber warfare, cyber security, military ethics, international law, security studies and IR in general.

Procedural Content Generation for C++ Game Development
by Dale GreenGet to know techniques and approaches to procedurally generate game content in C++ using Simple and Fast Multimedia Library About This Book * This book contains a bespoke Simple and Fast Multimedia Library (SFML) game engine with complete online documentation * Through this book, you'll create games that are non-predictable and dynamic and have a high replayability factor * Get a breakdown of the key techniques and approaches applied to a real game. Who This Book Is For If you are a game developer who is familiar with C++ and is looking to create bigger and more dynamic games, then this book is for you. The book assumes some prior experience with C++, but any intermediate concepts are clarified in detail. No prior experience with SFML is required. What You Will Learn * Discover the systems and ideology that lie at the heart of procedural systems * Use Random number generation (RNG) with C++ data types to create random but controlled results * Build levels procedurally with randomly located items and events * Create dynamic game objects at runtime * Construct games using a component-based approach * Assemble non-predictable game events and scenarios * Operate procedural generation to create dynamic content fast and easily * Generate game environments for endless replayability In Detail Procedural generation is a growing trend in game development. It allows developers to create games that are bigger and more dynamic, giving the games a higher level of replayability. Procedural generation isn't just one technique, it's a collection of techniques and approaches that are used together to create dynamic systems and objects. C++ is the industry-standard programming language to write computer games. It's at the heart of most engines, and is incredibly powerful. SFML is an easy-to-use, cross-platform, and open-source multimedia library. Access to computer hardware is broken into succinct modules, making it a great choice if you want to develop cross-platform games with ease. Using C++ and SFML technologies, this book will guide you through the techniques and approaches used to generate content procedurally within game development. Throughout the course of this book, we'll look at examples of these technologies, starting with setting up a roguelike project using the C++ template. We'll then move on to using RNG with C++ data types and randomly scattering objects within a game map. We will create simple console examples to implement in a real game by creating unique and randomised game items, dynamic sprites, and effects, and procedurally generating game events. Then we will walk you through generating random game maps. At the end, we will have a retrospective look at the project. By the end of the book, not only will you have a solid understanding of procedural generation, but you'll also have a working roguelike game that you will have extended using the examples provided. Style and approach This is an easy-to-follow guide where each topic is explained clearly and thoroughly through the use of a bespoke example, then implemented in a real game project.

Die Oracle Datenbank 19c: Eine Einführung für DBAs
by Thorsten GrebeDiese Einführung in die Oracle Datenbankadministration bietet einen schnellen Einstieg in die Installation, den Betrieb und das Backup einer Oracle 19c Datenbank. Dabei liegt der Fokus auf Datenbanken, die nicht in der Cloud, sondern auf eigenen Servern (on premise) betrieben werden. Es wird gezeigt, wie eine Einzelinstanz als herkömmliche Non-CDB oder als Multitenant-Containerdatenbank aufgesetzt werden kann und wie beim Aufbau eines Real Application Clusters vorgegangen werden muss. Erläutert werden die Komponenten, aus denen eine Datenbank und ihre Instanz bestehen, die Bedeutung von Speicherbereichen und Schemaobjekten. Die Besonderheiten einer Containerdatenbank gegenüber der älteren Non-CDB Architektur werden beschrieben. Hinweise werden gegeben, welche Initialisierungsparameter besser auf ihren Vorgabewerten belassen und welche unbedingt angepasst werden sollten. Besonderen Raum wurde dem Thema Backup und Recovery eingeräumt. Es wird gezeigt, welche Befehle in einem Sicherungsskript nicht fehlen sollten und wie Schäden an einer Oracle Datenbank erkannt und repariert werden können. Nach der Lektüre sollten sich Leserinnen und Leser nicht mehr orientierungslos gegenüber einer Oracle Datenbank fühlen.
