With the rapid advancement in technology, a myriad of new threats have emerged in online environments. The broad spectrum of these digital risks requires new and innovative methods for protection against cybercrimes. Combating Security Breaches and Criminal Activity in the Digital Sphere is a pivotal reference source for the latest scholarly research on current trends in cyber forensic investigations, focusing on advanced techniques for protecting information security and preventing potential exploitation for online users. Featuring law enforcement perspectives, theoretical foundations, and forensic methods, this book is ideally designed for policy makers, analysts, researchers, technology developers, and upper-level students.

"Malware Forensics: Investigating and Analyzing Malicious Code" covers the emerging and evolving field of "live forensics," where investigators examine a computer system to collect and preserve critical live data that may be lost if the system is shut down. Unlike other forensic texts that discuss "live forensics" on a particular operating system, or in a generic context, this book emphasizes a live forensics and evidence collection methodology on both Windows and Linux operating systems in the context of identifying and capturing malicious code and evidence of its effect on the compromised system.
"Malware Forensics: Investigating and Analyzing Malicious Code" also devotes extensive coverage of the burgeoning forensic field of physical and process memory analysis on both Windows and Linux platforms. This book provides clear and concise guidance as to how to forensically capture and examine physical and process memory as a key investigative step in malicious code forensics.
Prior to this book, competing texts have described malicious code, accounted for its evolutionary history, and in some instances, dedicated a mere chapter or two to analyzing malicious code. Conversely, "Malware Forensics: Investigating and Analyzing Malicious Code" emphasizes the practical "how-to" aspect of malicious code investigation, giving deep coverage on the tools and techniques of conducting runtime behavioral malware analysis (such as file, registry, network and port monitoring) and static code analysis (such as file identification and profiling, strings discovery, armoring/packing detection, disassembling, debugging), and more.

The EU Data Protection Code of Conduct for Cloud Service Providers - A guide to complianceFormally founded in 2017, the EU Data Protection Code of Conduct for Cloud Service Providers (otherwise known as the EU Cloud Code of Conduct; the Code) is a voluntary code of conduct created specifically to support GDPR compliance within the B2B (business-to-business) Cloud industry. The EU Commission, the Article 29 Working Party (now the European Data Protection Board (EDPB)), the EU Directorate-General for Justice and Consumers, and Cloud-industry leaders have all contributed to its development, resulting in a robust framework that recognises the unique requirements of the Cloud industry. Cloud providers must ensure that their services - which by design involve accessing and transferring data across the Internet, exposing it to far greater risk than data stored and processed within an organisation's internal network - meet or exceed the GDPR's requirements in order to provide the security and privacy that the market expects. Organisations can achieve this via compliance to the EU Cloud Code of Conduct. The EU Cloud Code of Conduct has already been adopted by major Cloud service organisations, including: Microsoft; Oracle; Salesforce; IBM; Google Cloud; Dropbox; and Alibaba Cloud. Public and business focus on information security and data protection continues to increase in the face of a constantly changing threat landscape and ever-more stringent regulation, and compliance to initiatives such as the EU Cloud Code of Conduct demonstrates to current and potential customers that your organisation is taking data privacy seriously, as well as strengthens your organisation's overall approach to information security management, and defences against data breaches. The EU Data Protection Code of Conduct for Cloud Service Providers provides guidance on how to implement the Code within your organisation. It explores the objectives of the Code, and how compliance can be achieved with or without a pre-existing ISMS (information security management system) within the organisation.

The fastest-growing malware in the world The core functionality of ransomware is two-fold: to encrypt data and deliver the ransom message. This encryption can be relatively basic or maddeningly complex, and it might affect only a single device or a whole network. Ransomware is the fastest-growing malware in the world. In 2015, it cost companies around the world $325 million, which rose to $5 billion by 2017 and is set to hit $20 billion in 2021. The threat of ransomware is not going to disappear, and while the number of ransomware attacks remains steady, the damage they cause is significantly increasing. It is the duty of all business leaders to protect their organisations and the data they rely on by doing whatever is reasonably possible to mitigate the risk posed by ransomware. To do that, though, they first need to understand the threats they are facing. The Ransomware Threat Landscape This book sets out clearly how ransomware works, to help business leaders better understand the strategic risks, and explores measures that can be put in place to protect the organisation. These measures are structured so that any organisation can approach them. Those with more resources and more complex environments can build them into a comprehensive system to minimise risks, while smaller organisations can secure their profiles with simpler, more straightforward implementation.
