Industrial Cybersecurity. Efficiently secure critical infrastructure systems
Pascal Ackerman
With industries expanding, cyber attacks have increased significantly. Understanding your control system’s vulnerabilities and learning techniques to defend critical infrastructure systems from cyber threats is increasingly important. With the help of real-world use cases, this book will teach you the methodologies and security measures necessary to protect critical infrastructure systems and will get you up to speed with identifying unique challenges.Industrial cybersecurity begins by introducing Industrial Control System (ICS) technology, including ICS architectures, communication media, and protocols. This is followed by a presentation on ICS (in) security. After presenting an ICS-related attack scenario, securing of the ICS is discussed, including topics such as network segmentation, defense-in-depth strategies, and protective solutions. Along with practical examples for protecting industrial control systems, this book details security assessments, risk management, and security program development. It also covers essential cybersecurity aspects, such as threat detection and access management. Topics related to endpoint hardening such as monitoring, updating, and anti-malware implementations are also discussed.

Digital transformation requires the ability to identify opportunities across industries and apply the right technologies and tools to achieve results. This book is divided into two parts with the first covering what digital transformation is and why it is important. The second part focuses on how digital transformation works.After an introduction to digital transformation, you will explore the transformation journey in logical steps and understand how to build business cases and create productivity benefit statements. Next, you’ll delve into advanced topics relating to overcoming various challenges. Later, the book will take you through case studies in both private and public sector organizations. You’ll explore private sector organizations such as industrial and hi-tech manufacturing in detail and get to grips with public sector organizations by learning how transformation can be achieved on a global scale and how the resident experience can be improved. In addition to this, you will understand the role of artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning in digital transformation. Finally, you’ll discover how to create a playbook that can ensure success in digital transformation.By the end of this book, you’ll be well-versed with industrial digital transformation and be able to apply your skills in the real world.

The Industrial Internet refers to the integration of complex physical machines with networked sensors and software. The growth in the number of sensors used in industrial machinery has led to an exponential increase in data being captured for predictive analytics.Industrial Internet Application Development is a practical guide for developers who want to create applications that leverage the full capabilities of IIoT. You will get started by learning how to develop your first IIoT application and understanding its deployment and security. Once you’re familiar with what IIoT is, you will move on to exploring Edge Development along with the analytics aspect of the IIoT stack. In later chapters, you’ll get to grips with the deployment of IIoT applications on the Predix platform. As you cover these concepts, you’ll be able to identify key elements of the development framework and understand their importance while considering architecture and design for IIoT applications.By the end of this book, you will have the skills you need to deploy IIoT applications on the Predix platform and incorporate best practices for developing fault-tolerant and reliable IIoT systems.

Indygeniczna psychologia Słowian. Wprowadzenie do realnej nauki o duszy
Andrzej Bronisław Pankalla, Konrad Kazimierz Kośnik
Czym jest psychologia INDYGENICZNA? W jaki sposób psychologowie poznają przedmiot (podmiot!) własnych badań i co nim REALNIE może, a co być powinno? Jakie znaczenie dla ustaleń psychologicznych ma KONTEKST historyczno-kulturowy badanego/badacza? I co na to wszystko… słowiańska dusza? Niniejsza książka stanowi próbę uwrażliwienia Czytelnika na refleksję nad powyższymi pytaniami wychodząc naprzeciw ponowoczesnym wyzwaniom psychologii badającej realność OSOBY, w tym jej MITYCZNĄ TOŻSAMOŚĆ. Przekonanie, iż psychologia winna wypowiadać się o istniejącym, a nie statystycznym człowieku, zaś teorie psychologiczne muszą ulec personalnemu i kulturowemu zrelatywizowaniu, wiedzie Autorów do podjęcia próby (re)konstrukcji słowiańskiego ROZUMIENIA zjawisk psychicznych. Jak zatem wyglądała(by) PSYCHOLOGIA, CZYLI NAUKA O DUSZY Słowian i jak bardzo należałoby skorygować współczesną, zuniwersalizowaną psychologię, by choć w części oddawała jej specyfikę? Próbę odpowiedzi m.in. na te pytanie znajdzie Czytelnik na kartach niniejszego tomu. Napisany ze znaczną erudycją tekst jest zaproszeniem do refleksji nad miejscem kształtowanej przez wieki duchowości i życia psychicznego Słowianina w jego współczesnym obrazie. (…) Stosunek Autorów do przedmiotu badań i zaangażowanie w „sprawę” czyni lekturę tekstu żywą i wciągającą. (…). Książka jest oryginalnym autorskim pomysłem wzbogacenia współczesnej myśli psychologicznej o idee zaczerpnięte z dawnej obyczajowości i szeroko rozumianej duchowości słowiańskiej. (…) ma niewątpliwie wartość poznawczą; otwiera przed czytelnikiem pradawny świat Słowian z ich językiem, obrzędowością, psychiką/duszą. (…) Postuluje „sięganie do korzeni” (…) w rozumieniu współczesnego człowieka. Co więcej, zakłada możliwość budowania „nowej psychologii” na podstawie dawnych wierzeń i mitów. (…) Żywa narracja i chwilami prowokacyjna argumentacja budzi emocje i zmusza do refleksji. dr hab. Anna Suchańska, prof. UAM
