Cyber Smart

An easy-to-read guide to protecting your digital life and your family online The rise of new technologies in our lives, which has taken us from powerful mobile phones to fitness trackers and smart appliances in under a decade, has also raised the need for everyone who uses these to protect themselves from cyber scams and hackers. Every new device and online service you use that improves your life also opens new doors for attackers looking to discover your passwords, banking accounts, personal photos, and anything else you want to keep secret. In Cyber Smart, author Bart McDonough uses his extensive cybersecurity experience speaking at conferences for the FBI, major financial institutions, and other clients to answer the most common question he hears: “How can I protect myself at home, on a personal level, away from the office?” McDonough knows cybersecurity and online privacy are daunting to the average person so Cyber Smart simplifies online good hygiene with five simple “Brilliance in the Basics” habits anyone can learn. With those habits and his careful debunking of common cybersecurity myths you’ll be able to protect yourself and your family from: Identify theft Compromising your children Lost money Lost access to email and social media accounts Digital security is one of the most important, and least understood, aspects of our daily lives. But it doesn’t have to be. Thanks to its clear instruction, friendly tone, and practical strategies, Cyber Smart will help you rest more easily, knowing you and your family are protected from digital attack.

Ensuring cybersecurity for smart cities is crucial for a sustainable cyber ecosystem. Given the undeniable complexity of smart cities, fundamental issues such as device configurations and software updates should be addressed when it is most needed to fight cyber-crime and ensure data privacy. This book addresses the cybersecurity challenges associated with smart cities, aiming to provide a bigger picture of the concepts, intelligent techniques, practices and research directions in this area. Furthermore, this book serves as a single source of reference for acquiring knowledge on the technology, processes and people involved in the next-generation of cyber-smart cities.

The unique approaches proposed in this book are ‘glocal’ in character, as they draw on the experiences of South Africans to address the global issue of ‘smart communities’. The book blends together social and technical aspects, and presents the experiences from a range of community practitioners, academics, architects and engineers.

This book addresses cyber safety for elementary school-aged children.

In today's digital age, cyber threats have become an ever-increasing risk to businesses, governments, and individuals worldwide. The deep integration of technology into every facet of modern life has given rise to a complex and interconnected web of vulnerabilities. As a result, traditional, sector-specific approaches to cybersecurity have proven insufficient in the face of these sophisticated and relentless adversaries. The need for a transformative solution that transcends organizational silos and fosters cross-sector collaboration, information sharing, and intelligence-driven defense strategies is now more critical than ever. Evolution of Cross-Sector Cyber Intelligent Markets explores the changes occurring within the field of intelligent markets, noting a significant paradigm shift that redefines cybersecurity. Through engaging narratives, real-world examples, and in-depth analysis, the book illuminates the key principles and objectives driving this evolution, shedding light on innovative solutions and collaborative efforts aimed at securing our digital future.

The book presents high-quality research papers presented at the 1st AUE International research conference, AUEIRC 2017, organized by the American University in the Emirates, held on November 15th-16th, 2017 in Dubai.

The papers included in this book present insightful information on the most recent and relevant research, theories and practices in the field, which aim for a sustainable future.

This proceedings book showcases the latest research work presented at the Second Edition of the Mediterranean Symposium on Smart City Application (SCAMS 2017), which was held in Tangier, Morocco on October 15–27, 2017. It presents original research results, new ideas and practical development experiences that concentrate on both theory and practice. It includes papers from all areas of Smart City Applications, e.g. Smart Mobility, Big Data, Smart Grids, Smart Homes and Buildings, clouds, crowds, mashups, social networks, and security issues. The conference stimulated cutting-edge research discussions among pioneering researchers, scientists, industrial engineers, and students from all around the world. The topics covered in this book also focus on innovative issues at the international level by bringing together experts from different countries. The scope of SCAMS 2017 included methods and practices that combine various emerging internetworking and data technologies to capture, integrate, analyze, mine, annotate, and visualize data in a meaningful and collaborative manner. A series of international workshops were organized as invited sessions during the SCAMS 2017:The 2nd International Workshop on Smart Learning & Innovative EducationsThe 1st International Workshop on Smart HealthcareThe 1st International Workshop on Mathematics for Smart CityThe 1st International Workshop Industry 4.0 and Smart Manufacturing
