175+ Cybersecurity Misconceptions and the Myth-Busting Skills You Need to Correct Them. Cybersecurity is fraught with hidden and unsuspected dangers and difficulties. Despite our best intentions, there are common and avoidable mistakes that arise from folk wisdom, faulty assumptions about the world, and our own human biases. Cybersecurity implementations, investigations, and research all suffer as a result. Many of the bad practices sound logical, especially to people new to the field of cybersecurity, and that means they get adopted and repeated despite not being correct. For instance, why isnt the user the weakest link? Get a high-level exposure to why statistics and figures may mislead as well as enlighten. Develop skills to identify new myths as they emerge, strategies to avoid future pitfalls, and techniques to help mitigate them. Fall down the rabbit hole of analogies with whimsical illustrations of difficult concepts, coupled with extensive citations and humor-tinged prose that explain them.

Perimeter defenses guarding your network aren't as secure as you might think. Hosts behind the firewall have no defenses of their own, so when a host in the "trusted" zone is breached, access to your data center is not far behind. This practical book introduces you to the zero trust model, a method that treats all hosts as if they're internet-facing, and considers the entire network to be compromised and hostile. Zero trust aims to solve the inherent problems in placing our trust in the network. Instead, it is possible to secure network communication and access so effectively that physical security of the transport layer can be reasonably disregarded. It goes without saying that this is a lofty goal. The good news is that we’ve got pretty powerful cryptographic algorithms these days, and given the right automation systems, this vision is actually attainable.

This book first presents a systematic theoretical study of wireless localization techniques. Then, guided by the theoretical results, the authors provide design approaches for improving the performance of localization systems and making the deployment of the systems more convenient. The book aims to address the following issues: how reliable the wireless localization system can be; how the system can scale up with the number of users to be served; how to make key design decisions in implementing the system; and how to mitigate human efforts in deploying the wireless localization system. The book is relevant for researchers, academics, and students interested in wireless localization technology. Wireless localization can be a very appropriate candidate solution, which estimates a wireless terminal’s location by analyzing features of wireless communication signals, such as Wi-Fi, LTE, and BLE.

Your first step to understanding what the metaverse is all about. You've probably heard that the metaverse―a word that seemingly went from nonexistent to everywhere ― is the next big thing in technology. The term metaverse refers to a general category of 3D worlds, mostly accessible with virtual reality (VR) headsets, that you visit and interact with in real time. When you browse the Internet, you look for websites that suit what you want to accomplish. Today the Internet is a place the majority of us visit to connect with friends, buy or sell goods or services, listen to music or watch a movie. You could be using the Internet to learn something new, attend classes, or book flights for your next vacation. Depending on what you need, you probably visit a host of different websites that get you where you want to go or help you accomplish your goals. The metaverse is new and yet similar to the Internet. As with the Internet, when you “browse the metaverse,” you choose the metaverse world that best suits the activity, or experience, you want to immerse yourself in. You may want to meet friends in your hobby group, learn something new, or enjoy a live concert by your favorite artist. The metaverse offers a wide range of activities and yet not all metaverse worlds are the same or identical.
