Through practical, project based learning this book will impart that mastery.Beginning with the basics of features and licenses, this book quickly moves on to the user and group lifecycle required to design roles and administrative units for role-based access control (RBAC). Learn to design Azure AD to be an identity provider and provide flexible and secure access to SaaS applications. Get to grips with how to configure and manage users, groups, roles, and administrative units to provide a user- and group-based application and self-service access including the audit functionality. Next find out how to take advantage of managing common identities with the Microsoft Identity Manager 2016 and build cloud identities with the Azure AD Connect utility. Construct blueprints with different authentication scenarios including multi-factor authentication. Discover how to configure and manage the identity synchronization and federation environment along with multi -factor authentication, conditional access, and information protection scenarios to apply the required security functionality. Finally, get recommendations for planning and implementing a future-oriented and sustainable identity and access management strategy.

Codeless Deep Learning with KNIME. Build, train, and deploy various deep neural network architectures using KNIME Analytics Platform

KNIME AG, Kathrin Melcher, Rosaria Silipo

KNIME Analytics Platform is an open source software used to create and design data science workflows. This book is a comprehensive guide to the KNIME GUI and KNIME deep learning integration, helping you build neural network models without writing any code. It’ll guide you in building simple and complex neural networks through practical and creative solutions for solving real-world data problems.Starting with an introduction to KNIME Analytics Platform, you’ll get an overview of simple feed-forward networks for solving simple classification problems on relatively small datasets. You’ll then move on to build, train, test, and deploy more complex networks, such as autoencoders, recurrent neural networks (RNNs), long short-term memory (LSTM), and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). In each chapter, depending on the network and use case, you’ll learn how to prepare data, encode incoming data, and apply best practices.By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to design a variety of different neural architectures and will be able to train, test, and deploy the final network.

Security Automation with Python. Practical Python solutions for automating and scaling security operations

Corey Charles Sr., Frank McMahon

Designed to address the most common pain point for security teams—scalability—Security Automation with Python leverages the author’s years of experience in vulnerability management to provide you with actionable guidance on automating security workflows to streamline your operations and improve your organization’s overall security posture.What makes this book stand out is its hands-on approach. You won’t just learn theoretical concepts—you’ll apply Python-based automation techniques directly to real-world scenarios. Whether you're automating vulnerability scans, managing firewall rules, or responding to security incidents, this book provides clear examples and use cases, breaking down complex topics into easily digestible steps. With libraries like Paramiko, Requests, and PyAutoGUI, you’ll automate everything from network scanning and threat intelligence gathering to system patching and alert management. Plus, this book focuses heavily on practical tips for error handling, scaling automation workflows, and integrating Python scripts into larger security infrastructures.By the end of this book, you'll have developed a set of highly valuable skills, from creating custom automation scripts to deploying them in production environments, and completed projects that can be immediately put to use in your organization.

Mastering JavaScript Single Page Application Development. An in-depth guide to building scalable and maintainable single-page applications in JavaScript

Philip Klauzinski, John Moore, Alex Dankoff

Single-page web applications—or SPAs, as they are commonly referred to—are quickly becoming the de facto standard for web app development. The fact that a major part of the app runs inside a single web page makes it very interesting and appealing. Also, the accelerated growth of browser capabilities is pushing us closer to the day when all apps will run entirely in the browser.This book will take your JavaScript development skills to the next level by teaching you to create a single-page application within a full-stack JavaScript environment. Using only JavaScript, you can go from being a front-end developer to a full-stack application developer with relative ease.You will learn to cross the boundary from front-end development to server-side development through the use of JavaScript on both ends. Use your existing knowledge of JavaScript by learning to manage a JSON document data store with MongoDB, writing a JavaScript powered REST API with Node.js and Express, and designing a front-end powered by AngularJS.This book will teach you to leverage the MEAN stack to do everything from document database design, routing REST web API requests, data-binding within views, and adding authentication and security to building a full-fledged, complex, single-page web application.In addition to building a full-stack JavaScript app, you will learn to test it with JavaScript-powered testing tools such as Mocha, Karma, and Jasmine. Finally, you will learn about deployment and scaling so that you can launch your own apps into the real world.
