Ein qualifiziertes Management der Informationssicherheit ist heutzutage für jede Organisation unverzichtbar. Die Normenreihe ISO 27000 ist dabei ein anerkannter ¿Wegweiser¿ zu diesem Ziel. Im internationalen Kontext ist ihre Erfüllung für viele Organisationen ein wichtiger Wettbewerbsfaktor. Auch in Deutschland hat diese Normenreihe Eingang in Vorgaben, Regelungen und Gesetze zum Thema Informationssicherheit gefunden.Das vorliegende Buch kommentiert vor diesem Hintergrund die aktuellen Normen ISO 27001 und ISO 27002 (Ausgabe 2022/2023): Nach einer Einführung in die Normenreihe und ihren Fachbegriffen werden die Anforderungen an das Managementsystem für Informationssicherheit (ISMS) detailliert erklärt und mit zahlreichen Hinweise zur Umsetzung versehen. Im Anhang der ISO 27001 sind die sog. Controls aufgeführt, die in der neuen Normfassung komplett umstrukturiert und an vielen Stellen geändert wurden. Das Buch behandelt ausführlich alle Controls und gibt viele Beispiele für ihre Anwendung.Mit dem Erscheinen der neuen Normfassungen müssen sich viele Organisationen entsprechend umstellen ¿ nicht zuletzt auch im Zusammenhang mit Zertifizierungen. Das Buch bietet hier einen ausführlichen Fahrplan zur Migration auf die neuen Normen.

Anhand von mehr als 50 bearbeiteten Angriffen auf deutsche Firmen erörtern die Autoren das technische Vorgehen von Ransomwaregruppen, die richtige Reaktion im Krisenfall und die Möglichkeiten zur Prävention. Illustriert durch zahlreiche Screenshots von Erpresserschreiben, Darknetseiten & Verhandlungschats. Mit Gastbeiträgen von N. Weyerstall, Dr. Malek und C. Kurtz sowie von betroffenen Unternehmen.Dieses Buch ist mehr als nur eine Notfallanleitung für den eingetretenen Krisenfall. Um die eigene Verteidigung zu planen, lohnt es sich, den Ernstfall gedanklich durchzuspielen.

Dear Readers, Thanks for making it #1 Best seller on Amazon!Thrilled by responses, driven by suggestions, here is second edition of the book to add: -Analysis of real life Industrial application collected from multiple MNCs-Question bank (100 fundamental based and 50 numerical based questions)-Editing based on feedback received, to bring more valuePurpose of the book: -This book is to take you through an exciting journey of learning new mechanical engineering language, namely, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). It is a functional language to define and communicate geometric tolerances (allowable variations) applicable to geometries (also called features) of mechanical parts and assemblies. -The purpose of this book is to learn (read and write) this language.What can the reader hope to learn by reading the book?Starting the journey with the origin of GD&T, we will learn: -Fundamentals of dimensioning, tolerancing and dimensioning rules.-Fundamental concepts of hole and shaft basis systems, basic/nominal size, limit, tolerance, actual size, deviation, allowance, and related technical terms.-Understanding mechanical features, a feature of size (FOS) and feature material condition (MMC/LMC/RFS), Datum, Datum feature, Datum feature frame, the degree of freedom, datum target, and datum simulators.-Fourteen feature controls tolerances of GD&T (straightness, flatness, circularity, cylindricity, etc.), practical application of each tolerance, the impact of MMC/LMC, understanding bonus tolerance, and writing in feature control frame.-Advanced concepts of boundary and envelope, MMB, LMB, RFB, virtual condition, resultant condition, unrelated and related actual mating envelopes.-14 most frequently used modifiers, namely, translation, projected tolerance zone, free state, tangent plane, unequally disposed profile, independency, statistical tolerance, continuous feature, controlled radius, dimension origin, between, all around, all over, and individually.-Analysis of industrial application examples, to see how industry adapts and modify the standards in real life.-100 fundamental based and 50 numerical questions to test your learning..-Appendix section including the concept of ISO-286 and IT grades, industry best practices for dimensional tolerancingWhile covering more than core GD&T concepts, a couple of designing process have also been included to provide holistic knowledge for practical purposes.About the journey of writing this book: Being a mechanical engineer, it was exciting for me to find a new evolving language in the industry. To find out the ground reality of usage of GD&T, I visited industries and educational institutes, talked to professionals, teachers, and students. Almost everywhere, a sense of difficulty to understand the new concept was found. To understand the concepts of ASME Y14.5-2009, a need of a textbook was felt, which is easy to understand, which can be used for stepwise learning, having questions, exercises, etc. I started the endeavor to write this book by contacting many of my friends, friend's friends, to collaborate and find more information, samples, industrial applications, challenges, etc. I locally printed the first sample of the book, gave it to industrial designers, Design heads, Manufacturers, Head-of-departments and Principals of colleges, established famous Authors of mechanical engineering subjects, and other colleagues. Most of them liked the book's simplified approach to describe the complex subject matter and provided their feedbacks, which are incorporated in the book. Therefore, this book is not only the output of my efforts, rather it is a combined output of many elite people working in the area of GD&T for some time now. I wish my readers to take benefit of fundamental learning and real-life examples, and to be front line runner in this evolving area of the mechanical industry!All the best! Happy learning!Ashok

This book provides an analysis of the individual and social dynamics of racism and hatred, an analysis of the specific characteristics of the most malignant leaders and monsters in history as well as social analyzes of why huge populations of people have chosen to follow these monsters.  Their conclusions come back to the existential issues we all face as human beings as well as the social influences perpetuated by an authoritarian patriarchy.  The mechanisms of manipulation of totalistic movements are clearly described and upon reflection will be familiar to any reader.The Monsters who have devastated civilization and murdered hundreds of millions of people have always had special advantages that allowed them to keep their subjects in a state of fear, they have controlled the media and had special access to finances, justice departments, military forces, and more often than not had secret police organizations that terrorized people to maintain control behind the scenes.At the same time, we are facing a crisis in the world that threatens our survival. Although our societies have relied on science and reason, we have largely lost the spiritual dimension that used to unite societies of people. It is astonishing that through quantum physics and science the existence of this underlying reality has been confirmed and has given rise to incredibly powerful momentums for social change and the restoration of human dignity.The last section of the book brings together the areas of wisdom explored and focuses especially on the role of the individual who is, after all, the only one to whom the soul is given. Each one of us is responsible for our role in society and the world. The Statue of Liberty on the East Coast was a tremendous symbol of hope for many immigrants who came to America.  Annie Moore, was the first Irish immigrant to arrive.  It is time that a Statue of Responsibility be built on the West Coast to acknowledge that each one of us has the responsibility of fulfilling our own personal destiny in life and facing our existential ultimate concerns.The role of parents and society remain immensely important and these must be addressed together. Steven Pinker has shown that reason, science and humanism have, in fact, made the world a better place and we must continue these endeavors. We must strengthen our internal spiritual dimensions and both males and females must learn how to better embrace the feminine principle that allows us access to our internal world of feelings and the intuitions of our unconscious. We are being swept up into an amazing and powerful renaissance of change that has the power to restore our human dignity and this is a gift we have the choice of receiving with all our hearts.
