Turn the avalanche of raw data from Azure Data Explorer, Azure Monitor, Microsoft Sentinel, and other Microsoft data platforms into actionable intelligence with KQL (Kusto Query Language). Experts in information security and analysis guide you through what it takes to automate your approach to risk assessment and remediation, speeding up detection time while reducing manual work using KQL. This accessible and practical guidedesigned for a broad range of people with varying experience in KQLwill quickly make KQL second nature for information security. KQL is a powerful query language that helps analyze a large volume of structured, semi structured, and unstructured data. KQL has inbuilt operators and functions that lets a user analyze data to find trends, patterns, anomalies, create forecasting, and machine learning. KQL underpins a variety of Microsoft cloud products - Microsoft Sentinel, Azure Data Explorer, Microsoft 365 Advanced Hunting, Azure Resource Graph, Azure Monitor and more. KQL has similarities with SQL language as well. KQL allows to write data queries and control commands for the database and the database tables. One solution is KQL—Kusto Query Language—a powerful and expressive language that enables the querying and manipulation of large volumes of data in Azure Data Explorer, Azure Monitor, Azure Sentinel, and other Microsoft data platforms. KQL can help perform complex queries, apply advanced functions, and leverage operators to transform data into meaningful information. KQL can also help visualize data, create dashboards, and automate workflows.

For companies and individuals already using Microsoft365 and other Microsoft technologies, this book is designed to reveal how to fully utilize these platforms for effective Knowledge Management without needing to rely on additional third-party tools. It addresses a common issue where organizations find themselves with overlapping technology capabilities for managing knowledge. This situation arises because many companies are not fully aware of the capabilities they already possess within their existing Microsoft tools. Knowledge management firms capitalize on this gap by offering white-labeled, branded applications with user-friendly interfaces, selling them to companies that could achieve the same results with what they already own, if only they knew how to use them properly. By mastering the use of Microsoft technologies for Knowledge Management, organizations can save significant amounts of money that would otherwise be spent on unnecessary external solutions. Whether your objective is to optimize Knowledge Management processes or align these tools with your organization's business processes, this book is designed to serve as a valuable resource, offering practical guidance and strategies to empower your endeavors. By the end of this book, readers will be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to make informed decisions regarding the utilization of Microsoft technologies for Knowledge Management and organizational design. Microsoft Power Apps is a part of Microsoft’s Power Platform and enables users to quickly create applications without the need for professional coding skills. Using Power Apps for knowledge management offers several benefits, and significantly enhances how organizations capture, store, and share knowledge.

This book is your comprehensive guide to Windows forensics. It covers the process of conducting or performing a forensic investigation of systems that run on Windows operating systems. It also includes analysis of incident response, recovery, and auditing of equipment used in executing any criminal activity. The book covers Windows registry, architecture, and systems as well as forensic techniques, along with coverage of how to write reports, legal standards, and how to testify. It starts with an introduction to Windows followed by forensic concepts and methods of creating forensic images. You will learn Windows file artefacts along with Windows Registry and Windows Memory forensics. And you will learn to work with PowerShell scripting for forensic applications and Windows email forensics. Microsoft Azure and cloud forensics are discussed and you will learn how to extract from the cloud. By the end of the book you will know data-hiding techniques in Windows and learn about volatility and a Windows Registry cheat sheet. This book is designed for two audiences. The first is the student that is learning forensics. This could be in a university setting or less formal setting. As the book assumes no prior knowledge of either forensics or Microsoft Windows, it can be used by a beginner. The second audience is the professional forensic examiner that requires a more in-depth understanding of Microsoft Windows forensics. This book will provide a depth that will give you a thorough understanding of how to do Windows forensics.

Fuzzy sets have been widely used to represent imprecise and fuzzy information in the real world. Although they are effective in dealing with such data, their capability to handle incomplete and inconsistent information is restricted. Recently, several extensions of fuzzy sets have attracted attention because of their improved versatility. This book, entitled Data‑Driven Modelling with Fuzzy Sets: Embracing Uncertainty, explores theories and advancements in the field. It also examines the wide‑ranging applications of various extensions of fuzzy sets theory. Additionally, the book delves into the practical applications of fuzzy sets in knowledge management, including evaluating student learning abilities, assessing academic performance and screening technical articles. It is primarily written for Senior undergraduate and graduate students and academic researchers in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics and communication engineering, Computer Science and engineering.

Over the past decade, since the publication of the first edition, there have been new advances in solving complex geoinformatics problems. Advancements in computing power, computing platforms, mathematical models, statistical models, geospatial algorithms, and the availability of data in various domains, among other things, have aided in the automation of complex real-world tasks and decision-making that inherently rely on geospatial data. Of the many fields benefiting from these latest advancements, Machine Learning, particularly Deep Learning, virtual reality, and game engine, have increasingly gained the interest of many researchers and practitioners. This revised new edition provides up-to-date knowledge on the latest developments related to these three fields for solving geoinformatics problems. Geospatial Big Data present two opportunities for the increased use of Machine Learning in the geospatial analytics domain. First, geospatial Big Data have created a shift toward considering large amounts of data as a resource that can be used to add value to an organization. Second, by virtue of the three Vs, volume, velocity, and variety, of Big Data, there is a shift away from complex models that require extensive computational and memory resources to techniques that instead can produce results in a more computationally efficient manner.
