This monograph deals with the interrelationship between chemistry and physics, and especially the role played by quantum chemistry as a theory in between these two disciplines. The author uses structuralist approach to explore the overlap between the two sciences, looking at their theoretical and ontological borrowings as well as their continuity. The starting point of this book is that there is at least a form of unity between chemistry and physics, where the reduction relation is conceived as a special case of this unity. However, matters are never concluded so simply within philosophy of chemistry, as significant problems exist around a number of core chemical ideas. Specifically, one cannot take the obvious success of quantum theories as outright support for a reductive relationship. Instead, in the context of a suitably adapted Nagelian framework for reduction, modern chemistry's relationship to physics is constitutive. The results provided by quantum chemistry, in partic ular, have significant consequences for chemical ontology. This book is ideal for students, scholars and academics from the field of Philosophy of Science, and particularly for those with an interest in Philosophy of Chemistry and Physics.

Get to grips with security operations through incident response, the ATT&CK framework, active defense, and agile threat intelligence Key Features Explore robust and predictable security operations based on measurable service performance Learn how to improve the security posture and work on security audits Discover ways to integrate agile security operations into development and operations Book DescriptionAgile security operations allow organizations to survive cybersecurity incidents, deliver key insights into the security posture of an organization, and operate security as an integral part of development and operations. It is, deep down, how security has always operated at its best. Agile Security Operations will teach you how to implement and operate an agile security operations model in your organization. The book focuses on the culture, staffing, technology, strategy, and tactical aspects of security operations. You'll learn how to establish and build a team and transform your existing team into one that can execute agile security operations. As you progress through the chapters, you'll be able to improve your understanding of some of the key concepts of security, align operations with the rest of the business, streamline your operations, learn how to report to senior levels in the organization, and acquire funding. By the end of this Agile book, you'll be ready to start implementing agile security operations, using the book as a handy reference. What you will learn Get acquainted with the changing landscape of security operations Understand how to sense an attacker's motives and capabilities Grasp key concepts of the kill chain, the ATT&CK framework, and the Cynefin framework Get to grips with designing and developing a defensible security architecture Explore detection and response engineering Overcome challenges in measuring the security posture Derive and communicate business values through security operations Discover ways to implement security as part of development and business operations Who this book is forThis book is for new and established CSOC managers as well as CISO, CDO, and CIO-level decision-makers. If you work as a cybersecurity engineer or analyst, you'll find this book useful. Intermediate-level knowledge of incident response, cybersecurity, and threat intelligence is necessary to get started with the book.

Chemistry and physics are two sciences that are hard to connect. Yet there is significant overlap in their aims, methods, and theoretical approaches. In this book, the reduction of chemistry to physics is defended from the viewpoint of a naturalised Nagelian reduction, which is based on a close reading of Nagel's original text. This naturalised notion of reduction is capable of characterising the inter-theory relationships between theories of chemistry and theories of physics. The reconsideration of reduction also leads to a new characterisation of chemical theories. This book is primarily aimed at philosophers of chemistry and chemists with an interest in philosophy, but is also of interest to the general philosopher of science.
