"This book outlines the major problems in corporate voluntary regulation of labor standards in global supply chains, and shows the progress such regulation has made thus far in improving the lives of workers in the global supply chain. It then presents pathways by which private regulation can be improved"--Provided by publisher. Private Regulation of Labor Standards in Global Supply Chains examines the effectiveness of corporate social responsibility on improving labor standards in global supply chains.Sarosh Kuruvilla charts the development and effectiveness of corporate codes of conduct to ameliorate "sweatshop" conditions in global supply chains. This form of private voluntary regulation, spearheaded by Nike and Reebok, became necessary given the inability of third world countries to enforce their own laws and the absence of a global regulatory system for labor standards. Although private regulation programs have been adopted by other companies in many different industries, we know relatively little regarding the effectiveness of these programs because companies don't disclose information about their efforts and outcomes in regulating labor conditions in their supply chains.Private Regulation of Labor Standards in Global Supply Chains presents data from companies, multi-stakeholder institutions, and auditing firms in a comprehensive, investigative dive into the world of private voluntary regulation of labor conditions. The picture he paints is wholistic and raw, but it considers several ways in which this private voluntary system can be improved to improve the lives of workers in global supply chains. <br><br> Autorid: Sarosh Kuruvilla <br>

C language topics are organised based on the needs of beginner programmers rather than structure, making for an even easier introduction to the subject. Covering various aspects of software engineering, including a heavy focus on pointer concepts, the text engages students to use their problem solving skills throughout. <br><br> Autorid: Jeri Hanly, Elliot Koffman <br>

Business executives consider what is necessary to protect the company. It comes down to people, process and technology, organized within an information security program. Everything has its place within the program, including business processes, assets and the right blend of controls to protect them. This book describes program architecture, the discipline of designing, implementing and leading information security programs. Prove Yourself Ready Now Team Development and Retention Program Maturity Influence Support and Funding Cyber Threat Intelligence Third Party Risk Management Metrics and Reporting Insider Risk Monitoring and Response Threat Landscape and Controls Analysis Conduct an Assessment Crisis Communications Control by Governance This book provides practical advice in the areas of cybersecurity and operational risk management. The goal is to provide readers with practical advice they can use upon return to work. Chapter abstracts: Chapter 1 Prove yourself ready now This chapter provides practical advice to prove yourself 'ready now' for a cybersecurity management role. The journey begins with a view from the executives side of the table and how to speak in terms of risk. There is an overview of risk management, with tips for influencing risk mitigation. Focus transitions to how a communications plan can make you more effective as a leader. There is practical advice for developing presentation skills with limited stress and anxiety through a four-step approach. With that skill in-place you can communicate program statuses to executives. Professional development and C-Level presentation round out the chapter. Chapter 2 Team development and retention This chapter provides leaders with practical advice for developing employees in their current role, with tips to help them move laterally or to pursue promotion to management. The focus shifts to management routines throughout a calendar year, including performance and development plans, communications, financial acumen, talent review and program architecture. The chapter begins to conclude with performance calibration, succession planning, promotions and retention risk. If you are an individual contributor with a goal of being promoted to leadership, there is a significant value in this chapter. There are also activities behind the scenes that you should know about in your current role. Chapter 3 Program maturity Information security professionals must focus on maturity within cybersecurity and operational risk contexts. This chapter provides guidance to improve program maturity within four levels. It starts by establishing a foundation with a control framework, laws, regulations and contractual obligations. Next are common controls, necessary and common sense from an information security perspective. Active risk management includes types of analysis, assessment and mitigation. Strong risk management is conducted by organizations that have a very low risk tolerance. This risk-prioritized approach can be used to influence funding. So that's part of the strategy, you need support and funding to mature the program over years. Chapter 4 Influence support and funding Influencing change with business and IT executives is a learned skill. This chapter begins with five areas of focus to influence support and funding. The concept of bring friends solicits the support of other operational risk functions. Management routines are provided as effective ways to mitigate risk, including a risk register process, a cybersecurity committee, tabletop exercises and a cybersecurity risk management framework. Three risk analysis methodologies are provided as practical advice to communicate security risk. Tips to develop financial acumen include two budget slide examples. The chapter concludes with emphasis on the need to be a change agent and to close on projects, initiatives and risk mitigation. Chapter 5 Cyber threat intelligence A Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) Program drives change to adapt to emerging threats and new technology. That change reduces incident occurrence, with a goal of preventing an incident from becoming a data breach. The chapter provides practical advice to establish a CTI program that generates system hardening, threat hunting, monitoring and incident response. CTI inputs are detailed within advisory subscriptions and six other categories. CTI activities continue with an intake process, processing an advisory, taking action and CTI meetings. CTI program architecture continues with security monitoring alerts and tips to establish a threat hunting program. The chapter concludes with adversarial tactics and CTI program indicators. Chapter 6 Third party risk management This chapter describes designing a Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) program. It details the end-to-end process: identify, risk rank, assess, risk treatment, monitor, oversight, escalations and decommissioning. A framework is provided as a program outline, with decision points to select from. Options presented will help mitigate third party risk, whether you have an existing TPRM program or if you need to establish one. This chapter is also an example of program architecture in practice. These concepts can be used to design, implement and lead other risk management programs. The goal of this chapter and this book is to provide you with practical advice you can use upon return to work. Chapter 7 Metrics and reporting This chapter provides practical advice to establish information security metrics, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Key Risk Indicators (KRIs). It begins with an explanation of the differences between them and why each is necessary. Mid-level details of the end-to-end process are provided, from creating a metric to entering it into production. Examples of how to design metrics, KPIs and KRIs are provided. Areas of focus include information security measurements for all organizations, for a new process or function and in alignment with a control framework. The end game is to measure if processes and controls are functioning as designed. This chapter includes metrics and reporting readers can leverage upon returning to work. That saves time and helps influence risk mitigation. Chapter 8 Insider risk monitoring and response This chapter provides practical advice to establish insider risk monitoring and response capabilities. Insider threat is discussed in the context of a threat landscape matrix. Provides tips and examples to overcome reluctance to insider risk management due to corporate culture. Provides an order of implementation to influence the next step forward. Data exfiltration controls provide results early-on. Evidence-based inferences give Human Resources a level of comfort. Continuous monitoring detects suspicious activity by an employee or contractor. An incident response process is included. Maturity increases with monitoring triggered by behavioral indicators and when an employee tenders resignation. These practices provide protection for the organization and are likely to produce results. That enables a clear business case for a second phase of program development. Chapter 9 Threat landscape and controls analysis Threat Landscape and Controls Analysis is organized to start from business managements side of the table. We begin by considering the inherent risk of the organization. Provide an overview of potential adversaries, techniques for compromising data and the cybercrime ecosystem. Describe the potential for impact, while citing reliable sources. Reference the organizations risk tolerance. Describe the organizations assets. Pivot into cybersecurity with protection boundaries, control framework and risk assessments. Provide fair and balanced analysis by documenting risk mitigation and recent accomplishments in that domain. Detail residual risk with recommendations for new processes and controls. Conclude with a summary statement that praises the organizations risk culture, with recognition for conducting risk analysis. Threat Landscape and Controls Analysis can be used within an assessment report as a preamble for findings and recommendations. It also has utility as stand-alone analysis to present cybersecurity issues to C-level executives and the Board of Directors. Chapter 10 Conduct an assessment This chapter provides practical advice to conduct cybersecurity assessments. It details the end-to-end process including: scoping, 15 steps to develop work papers, scheduling, on-site assessment, report preparation and presentation. The first assessment example leverages the NIST Cybersecurity Framework for coverage across security domains. This chapter also addresses follow-on assessments. Readers are encouraged to evaluate lines of business and to take deep dives into critical functions. Tips and examples are provided to create testing procedures. The chapter also provides an assessment report framework. The assessment presentation phase includes a slide deck framework covering the threat landscape, assessment methodology, findings and recommendations, Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) and next steps. Chapter 11 Crisis communications This chapter provides practical advice to support crisis communications in a cybersecurity context. Provides rationale for establishing a Crisis Management Program from an operational risk perspective. The compliance validation section references requirements from NIST cybersecurity and privacy frameworks. Details how incident response and crisis management teams work together. Includes recommendations for a crisis communications plan, holding statement templates, a data breach notification matrix and a distribution plan. Provides lessons learned and ten reputable practices to communicate effectively. The chapter begins to conclude with legal considerations for an Incident Response Plan. The call to action section outlines a three-year plan. Chapter 12 Control by governance This chapter provides practical advice to assert control through governance processes. Transition common information security tasks to a Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) Analyst (24 activities). Increase retention by focusing information security professionals on cybersecurity. Influence support and funding through a customized control framework. Implement activity task scheduling to ensure process execution. The chapter concludes with proactive measures to identify and mitigate risk such as issue management, security architecture reviews, system health checks and process governance. Governance oversight and separation from operations provides risk transparency to senior executives and the board of directors. These processes and management routines provide a pathway to Enterprise Risk Management. <br><br> Autorid: Gideon T. Rasmussen <br>

"Preface About a year ago, a colleague of mine offered me the opportunity to write a book tailored to program managers and, more specifically, how leadership can create high-performing teams (HPTs) that regularly exceed expectations and operate as a collective, innovative, communication-driven, and conflict-positive group. At the time, I jumped at the idea. Not only have I been working as a project and program manager for over fifteen years, I have been teaching program/project/risk management courses both commercially and academically for ten-plus years. The idea of writing about one of my favorite subjects seemed ideal for the next challenge. However, writing this book has truly been a journey and not a dissertation. Through each chapter, case study, and example, I have finally found the opportunity to review the conscious decisions and management styles I have employed and the results of my approaches. There is no doubt that I have had the opportunity to work with some really fantastic teams that truly achieved HPT status, but I have also struggled with team development, cultures, communication issues, and conflicts. If you had asked me a year ago about my ability to develop HPTs and lead programs to successful conclusions, I would have immediately shouted, "Yes, of course I can do that." After writing this book, I realize that so many factors go into developing a team--including each member's skills, abilities, and willingness to join a team--that to be successful, leaders not only must make conscious choices on leadership but also must be able to actively read and interact with the corporate culture and environment, and to personally invest constantly in the team"-- "The book focuses on individuals who have come to understand the values of the tools that are provided by PMI but are still looking for the advantages and the success factors necessary to be truly great Program and Project Managers. The targeted audienceis one that continues to focus on self-actualization and continuous improvement as a way of learning from historical efforts and driving each new initiative to the highest possible set of standards.

Understand the importance of programming, even if you've never programmed before! This book will teach you the basics of programming using the Processing programming language. You will create your own Processing sketches, using personal images, themes, or hobbies that you enjoy. The chapters in the book will demonstrate the process of programming, starting with formulating an idea, planning, building on past projects, and refining the work, similar to writing an essay or composing a song. This approach will guide you to make use of logic and mathematics to produce beautiful effects.The term for program in Processing is sketch. The Processing language has been adopted and enhanced by visual artists. However, the sketches featured in this book and typical in Processing are far more than static drawings; they incorporate interaction, animation, video, audio, and accessing files on the local computer and on the Web. Technical features are introduced and explained in the context of complete examples: games (Snake, Hangman, jigsaw, slingshot), making a collage of family images and video clips, preparing directions for folding an origami model, rotating objects in 3D, and others.Programming is a fun, creative, expressive pursuit, but it requires attention to details and can be frustrating. Still, there is very little that compares to the satisfaction of building a program out of nothing and making it work (or taking an existing program and fixing a problem, or adding a feature and making it better). Programming 101 is your gateway to making this happen. What You'll Learn Gain basic programming skills Build fun and creative programs Use files for making a holiday card or a sequence of instructions Combine videos, images, and graphics in a Processing sketch Connections to other programming languages, most especially Java and JavaScript Who This Book Is For Anyone who has been thinking about trying programming, or has tried, but needs assistance. Anyone who wants to use their own creativity and artistic talents. Anyone who wants to know what is involved in the technology that is present in our lives.

This book is the introduction to Elixir for experienced programmers, completely updated for Elixir 1.6 and beyond. Explore functional programming without the academic overtones (tell me about monads just one more time). Create concurrent applications, butget them right without all the locking and consistency headaches. Meet Elixir, a modern, functional, concurrent language built on the rock-solid Erlang VM. Elixir's pragmatic syntax and built-in support for metaprogramming will make you productive and keep you interestedfor the long haul. Maybe the time is right for the Next Big Thing. Maybe it's Elixir.Functional programming techniques help you manage the complexities of today's real-world, concurrent systems; maximize uptime; and manage security. Enter Elixir, with its modern, Ruby-like, extendable syntax, compile and runtime evaluation, hygienic macro system, and more. But, just as importantly, Elixir brings a sense of enjoyment to parallel,functional programming. Your applications become fun to work with, and the language encourages you to experiment.Part 1 covers the basics of writing sequential Elixir programs. We'll look at the language, the tools, and the conventions. Part 2 uses these skills to start writing concurrent code-applications that use all the cores on your machine, or all the machines on your network! And we do it both with and without OTP. Part 3 looks at the more advanced features of the language, from DSLs and code generation to extending the syntax.This edition is fully updated with all the new features of Elixir 1.6, with a new chapter on structuring OTP applications, and new sections on the debugger, code formatter, Distillery, and protocols.What You Need:You'll need a computer, a little experience with another high-levellanguage, and a sense of adventure. No functional programmingexperience is needed. <br><br> Autorid: Dave Thomas <br>

A multi-user game, web site, cloud application, or networked database can have thousands of users all interacting at the same time. You need a powerful, industrial-strength tool to handle the really hard problems inherent in parallel, concurrent environments. You need Erlang. In this second edition of the bestselling Programming Erlang, you'll learn how to write parallel programs that scale effortlessly on multicore systems. Using Erlang, you'll be surprised at how easy it becomes to deal with parallel problems, and how much faster and more efficiently your programs run. That's because Erlang uses sets of parallel processes-not a single sequential process, as found in most programming languages. Joe Armstrong, creator of Erlang, introduces this powerful language in small steps, giving you a complete overview of Erlang and how to use it in common scenarios. You'll start with sequential programming, move to parallel programming and handling errors in parallel programs, and learn to work confidently with distributed programming and the standard Erlang/Open Telecom Platform (OTP) frameworks. You need no previous knowledge of functional or parallel programming.The chapters are packed with hands-on, real-world tutorial examples and insider tips and advice, and finish with exercises for both beginning and advanced users. The second edition has been extensively rewritten. New to this edition are seven chapters covering the latest Erlang features: maps, the type system and the Dialyzer, WebSockets, programming idioms, and a new stand-alone execution environment. You'll write programs that dynamically detect and correct errors, and that can be upgraded without stopping the system. There's also coverage of rebar (the de facto Erlang build system), and information on how to share and use Erlang projects on github, illustrated with examples from cowboy and bitcask. Erlang will change your view of the world, and of how you program.
