Security Strategies in Linux Platforms and Applications, Third Edition covers major aspects of security on a Linux system. The first part of this book describes the risks, threats, and vulnerabilities associated with Linux as an operating system. Linux is a common operating system used for Internet infrastructure. As a result, a big focus for this book is on implementing strategies that you can use to protect your system implementations, even in cases where they are public facing. To that end, this book uses examples from two of the major distributions built for the server: Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Ubuntu (Server Edition). With Linux, security is much more than just firewalls and permissions. Part Two of the book shows you how to take advantage of the layers of security available to Linux—user and group options, filesystems, and security options for important services, as well as the security modules associated with Application Armor (AppArmor) and Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux). It also covers encryption options where available. The final part of this book explores the use of both open source and proprietary tools when building a layered security strategy for your Linux operating system environments.

This book provides a principled data-driven framework that progressively constructs, enriches, and applies taxonomies without leveraging massive human annotated data. Traditionally, people construct domain-specific taxonomies by extensive manual curations, which is time-consuming and costly. In today’s information era, people are inundated with the vast amounts of text data. Despite their usefulness, people haven’t yet exploited the full power of taxonomies due to the heavy curation needed for creating and maintaining them. To bridge this gap, the authors discuss automated taxonomy discovery and exploration, with an emphasis on label-efficient machine learning methods and their real-world usages. Taxonomy organizes entities and concepts in a hierarchy way. It is ubiquitous in our daily life, ranging from product taxonomies used by online retailers, topic taxonomies deployed by news outlets and social media, as well as scientific taxonomies deployed by digital libraries across various domains. When properly analyzed, these taxonomies can play a vital role for science, engineering, business intelligence, policy design, e-commerce, and more. Intuitive examples are used throughout enabling readers to grasp concepts more easily.

Database Security: Problems and Solutions describes and demonstrates how to resolve database security issues at the design, implementation, and production phases. Database securityconsiders and implements those measures or controls in more specific ways than are generally realized in the broader realm of information security. Database security also involves other confidentiality approaches, such as techniques for account credential management, techniques to manage access to data, as well as techniques to manage the types of access. Database security also considers other, less realized, approaches such as database normalization, referential integrity, transactions, locks, and check constraints. Designed for professionals, workshop settings, and self-learners, the book demonstrates several databases so the reader can follow along in a hands-on approach.

Take control of your personal data. Learn how companies manipulate and exploit your data and what you can do to access, delete, and monetize it yourself. Both a handbook and a manifesto, Data for All is a must-read for anyone who wants to take control of their personal data. It lays out how businesses collect, use, and exploit your data, and clearly explains the legislation that will overturn the existing system. Follow John Thompson’s direct and accessible guidance and you’ll completely change your relationship with your data. In this fascinating book, you will learn how to oversee who accesses your data, how much different types of data are worth, and how to keep private details private. You’ll soon stop being a passive source of free data, and start earning a “data dividend”—hundreds or thousands of dollars paid out simply for your daily online activities. Data scientists bring together multiple sources of related data to create a model or models that produces results that are as close as possible as to how the world actually works. That is the primary objective of predictive analytics, to build a model or a stream of models, that takes data and predicts as accurately as possible what the future of that business process or business environment will look like. Data scientists bring these data sets together and create features that feed into models.

Develop powerful data models that bind data from disparate sources into a coherent whole. Then extend your data models using DAX–the query language that underpins Power BI–to create reusable measures to deliver finely-crafted custom calculations in your dashboards. This book starts off teaching you how to define and enhance the core structures of your data model to make it a true semantic layer that transforms complex data into familiar business terms. You’ll learn how to create calculated columns to solve basic analytical challenges. Then you’ll move up to mastering DAX measures to finely slice and dice your data. The book also shows how to handle temporal analysis in Power BI using a Date dimension. You will see how DAX Time Intelligence functions can simplify your analysis of data over time. Finally, the book shows how to extend DAX to filter and calculate datasets and develop DAX table functions and variables to handle complex queries.
