AI agents have moved from demos to practical tooling, especially for offensive security work where repeatability and context matter. This book shows you how to apply agentic AI to real penetration testing automation, keeping a human in the loop while speeding up reconnaissance, validation, and reporting.You’ll build end-to-end workflows with n8n for reconnaissance automation, attack surface management, and repeatable testing tasks such as port scanning and PCI segmentation testing. You’ll also create browser-based security testing tools using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling LLM-powered agents to coordinate tooling, manage context, and assist with vulnerability analysis and documentation. The focus is hands-on practice, as you’ll assemble practical offensive workflows for web application testing, exploitation support, and professional pentest reporting, then extend your pipeline with threat intelligence automation, including agents that monitor CVE feeds and keep your testing aligned with emerging risk.If you’re a penetration tester, red teamer, or security engineer looking to make assessments faster, more consistent, and easier to scale across engagements, this book gives you patterns that you can adapt to your environment.

Generative AI has moved beyond the hype, and enterprises now face the challenge of turning prototypes into scalable solutions. This book is your guide to building intelligent agents powered by LLMs.Starting with a GenAI maturity model, you’ll learn how to assess your organization’s readiness and create a roadmap toward agentic AI adoption. You’ll master foundational topics such as model selection and LLM deployment, progressing to advanced methods such as RAG, fine-tuning, in-context learning, and LLMOps, especially in the context of agentic AI. You'll explore a rich library of agentic AI design patterns to address coordination, explainability, fault tolerance, and human-agent interaction. This book introduces a concrete, hierarchical multi-agent architecture where high-level orchestrator agents manage complex business workflows by delegating entire sub-processes to specialized agents. You’ll see how these agents collaborate and communicate using the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol.To ensure your systems are production-ready, we provide a practical framework for observability using life cycle callbacks, giving you the granular traceability needed for debugging, compliance, and cost management. Each pattern is backed by real-world scenarios and code examples using the open source Agent Development Kit (ADK).*Email sign-up and proof of purchase required

DataRobot enables data science teams to become more efficient and productive. This book helps you to address machine learning (ML) challenges with DataRobot's enterprise platform, enabling you to extract business value from data and rapidly create commercial impact for your organization.You'll begin by learning how to use DataRobot's features to perform data prep and cleansing tasks automatically. The book then covers best practices for building and deploying ML models, along with challenges faced while scaling them to handle complex business problems. Moving on, you'll perform exploratory data analysis (EDA) tasks to prepare your data to build ML models and ways to interpret results. You'll also discover how to analyze the model's predictions and turn them into actionable insights for business users. Next, you'll create model documentation for internal as well as compliance purposes and learn how the model gets deployed as an API. In addition, you'll find out how to operationalize and monitor the model's performance. Finally, you'll work with examples on time series forecasting, NLP, image processing, MLOps, and more using advanced DataRobot capabilities.By the end of this book, you'll have learned to use DataRobot's AutoML and MLOps features to scale ML model building by avoiding repetitive tasks and common errors.

Agile MBSE can help organizations manage constant change and uncertainty while continuously ensuring system correctness and meeting customers’ needs. But deploying it isn’t easy.Agile Model-Based Systems Engineering Cookbook is a little different from other MBSE books out there. This book focuses on workflows – or recipes, as the author calls them – that will help MBSE practitioners and team leaders address practical situations that are part of deploying MBSE as part of an agile development process across the enterprise.Written by Dr. Bruce Powel Douglass, a world-renowned expert in MBSE, this book will take you through important systems engineering workflows and show you how they can be performed effectively with an agile and model-based approach. You’ll start with the key concepts of agile methods for systems engineering, but we won’t linger on the theory for too long. Each of the recipes will take you through initiating a project, defining stakeholder needs, defining and analyzing system requirements, designing system architecture, performing model-based engineering trade studies, all the way to handling systems specifications off to downstream engineering.By the end of this MBSE book, you’ll have learned how to implement critical systems engineering workflows and create verifiably correct systems engineering models.

Agile MBSE can help organizations manage change while ensuring system correctness and meeting customers’ needs. But deployment challenges have changed since our first edition.The Agile Model-Based Systems Engineering Cookbook’s second edition focuses on workflows – or recipes – that will help MBSE practitioners and team leaders address practical situations that are part of deploying MBSE as part of an agile development process across the enterprise. In this 2nd edition, the Cameo MagicDraw Systems Modeler tool – the most popular tool for MBSE – is used in examples (models are downloadable by readers).Written by a world-renowned expert in MBSE, this book will take you through systems engineering workflows in the Cameo Systems Modeler SysML modeling tool and show you how they can be used with an agile and model-based approach. You’ll start with the key concepts of agile methods for systems engineering. Next, each recipe will take you through initiating a project, outlining stakeholder needs, defining and analyzing system requirements, specifying system architecture, performing model-based engineering trade studies, all the way to handling systems specifications off to downstream engineering.By the end of this MBSE book, you’ll learn how to implement systems engineering workflows and create systems engineering models.
