In the age of global climate change, society will require cities that are environmentally self-sufficient, able to withstand various environmental problems and recover quickly. It is interesting to note that many "smart" solutions for cities are leading to an unsustainable future, including further electrification, an increased dependence on the Internet, Internet of Things, Big Data, and Artificial Intelligence, and basically any technology that leads us to consume more electricity. This book examines critical topics in Smart Cities such as true sustainability and the resilience required for all cities. It explores sustainability issues in agriculture and the role of agri-technology for a sustainable future, including a city’s ability to locally produce food for its residents.

The rapid pace of technology often catches organizations unprepared and unable to take advantage of every leading-edge benefit. Cloud technology allows forward-thinking companies to launch products and services rapidly, control costs, streamline processes, and mitigate risks—when done correctly. This book addresses technological basics, as well as practical steps for implementing and fitting the cloud into your overall business strategy—which ultimately benefits your bottom line in delivering the best possible product and services to customers quickly. The first three chapters of the book cover the journey of the technology from the old-fashioned, on-prem data center to modern-world cloud offerings by commercial entities known as cloud service providers (CSPs). We have taken a balanced approach, using examples from the three major CSPs: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Azure. While there are several published training courses and tutorials available, we hope that readers will benefit from our experience in converting the theories into real-life scenarios. Chapter 4 provides an overview of cloud operations. Chapter 5 takes a closer look at cloud monitoring and metrics. Chapters 6 and 7 discuss various cloud providers and how to build and publish an application on the cloud. We also present a view on how cloud providers compare with on-prem data centers and even how the offerings of these providers themselves compare.

Regulating cyber matters is a complex task, as cyberspace is an intricate world full of new threats related to a person's identity, finance, and private information. Algorithm manipulation, hate crimes, cyber-laundering, and data theft are strong menaces in the cyber world. New technologies are generating both privacy and security issues involving anonymity, cross-border transactions, virtual communications, and assets, among others. This book is a collection of works by experts on cyber matters and legal considerations that need addressing in a timely manner. It comprises cross-disciplinary knowledge that is pooled to this end. Risk mitigation tools, including cyber risk management, data protection regulations, as well as ethical practice guidelines are reviewed in detail. A (Distributed) Denial of Service (DoS/DDoS) attack aims to compromise the operation of specific Internet-facing services. One of the most common types of DDoS attacks is the packet flood, whereby an inordinate number of packets are sent to the target system with the goal of consuming all open connections and overloading network usage, leading to the crippling or cessation of services running on that system.

Follow FC as he steals from the world's most secure banks and government facilities—without breaking a single law. In How I Rob Banks: And Other Such Places, renowned ethical hacker and social engineer FC delivers a gripping and often hilarious discussion of his work: testing the limits of physical bank security by trying to "steal" money, data, and anything else he can get his hands on. In the book, you'll explore the secretive world of physical assessments and follow FC as he breaks into banks and secure government locations to identify security flaws and loopholes. Social engineering is the manipulation of people and situations to gain access or information that otherwise is not available to you. Social engineering can sometimes be used to bypass physical security - mechanisms in place to prevent access by unauthorized people - but not always. Organizations pay me to test their security. I use a combination of social engineering and physical attacks to do so. The security I test might be the locks on their doors, the security guards and receptionists, or their computer networks. A can't-miss account of real-life security exploits perfect for infosec pros, including red and blue teamers, pentesters, CIOs, CISSPs, and social engineers, How I Rob Banks also belongs in the hands of anyone who loves a great Ocean's 11-style story pulled straight from the real world.

This book presents state-of-the-art blockchain and AI advances in health care. Healthcare service is increasingly creating the scope for blockchain and AI applications to enter the biomedical and healthcare world. Today, blockchain, AI, ML, and deep learning are affecting every domain. Through its cutting-edge applications, AI and ML are helping transform the healthcare industry for the better. Blockchain is a decentralization communication platform that has the potential to decentralize the way we store data and manage information. Blockchain technology has potential to reduce the role of middleman, one of the most important regulatory actors in our society. Transactions are simultaneously secure and trustworthy due to the use of cryptographic principles. In recent years, blockchain technology has become very trendy and has penetrated different domains, mostly due to the popularity of cryptocurrencies. One field where blockchain technology has tremendous potential is health care, due to the need for a more patient-centric approach in healthcare systems to connect disparate systems and to increase the accuracy of electronic healthcare records (EHRs). In today’s scenario, humankind has entered the domain of the Industrial revolution requirements with advanced tools and techniques. Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a pivotal role in the simulation of human intelligence to process, especially in computing systems. The performance of AI has various applications to apply in expert systems, natural language processing, speech recognition, machine vision, and more.
