CISO: Evolution of a Vocation comprises three levels. The first level shares the author’s personal journey, beginning as a homeless college dropout and culminating in over thirty years of service as a CISO and in CISO‑equivalent roles at some of America’s most iconic companies and organizations. Drawing on experience and discipline gained from military contracting work, the author maintained a letter log system to manage the commitments and document the issues he faced. He also kept digital copies of over 1,000 memorandums issued during his later CISO roles. Through excerpts from selected memos, readers gain an unprecedented view into the cybersecurity challenges he confronted as CISO. Each chapter includes “Lessons Learned,” providing readers with the benefits of the author’s life lessons and cybersecurity experiences. This provides valuable context for understanding how the landscape of cybersecurity has evolved over the decades. Building on these experiences, this book examines the evolution of the CISO role itself. Readers follow the progression from the role’s early inception to its current status as a true business leadership position. Each level makes this book accessible and engaging for both general readers and professionals.

This book addresses the use of constrained control and Machine Learning (ML) approaches within data-driven settings in the field of autonomous robots for Industry 5.0 and Intelligent Transportation Systems. The primary aim of the book is to highlight the strict connection between constrained control and Machine Learning when tackling real-like phenomena in terms of a data-driven framework. The book shows how constrained control techniques and Machine Learning approaches can be adequately combined to derive novel and more efficient hybrid control architectures for data-driven based scenarios. To this end, several control problems ranging from planning and formation of autonomous multi-vehicles, routing decisions in urban road networks, freeway traffic modeling, to autonomous robotics in healthcare, are considered to highlight the capability of the data-driven approach to combine techniques coming from different research domains. The book is mainly devoted to researchers that, starting from a solid expertise on the constrained control and/or Machine Learning tools, would improve their ability to jointly use these technicalities in the data-driven setting.
