CYBER THREAT INTELLIGENCE "Martin takes a thorough and focused approach to the processes that rule threat intelligence, but he doesn't just cover gathering, processing and distributing intelligence. He explains why you should care who is trying to hack you, and what you can do about it when you know." —Simon Edwards, Security Testing Expert, CEO SE Labs Ltd., Chair AMTSO Effective introduction to cyber threat intelligence, supplemented with detailed case studies and after action reports of intelligence on real attacks Cyber Threat Intelligence introduces the history, terminology, and techniques to be applied within cyber security, offering an overview of the current state of cyberattacks and stimulating readers to consider their own issues from a threat intelligence point of view. The author takes a systematic, system-agnostic, and holistic view to generating, collecting, and applying threat intelligence. The text covers the threat environment, malicious attacks, collecting, generating, and applying intelligence and attribution, as well as legal and ethical considerations. It ensures readers know what to look out for when considering a potential cyber attack and imparts how to prevent attacks early on, explaining how threat actors can exploit a system's vulnerabilities. It also includes analysis of large scale attacks such as WannaCry, NotPetya, Solar Winds, VPNFilter, and the Target breach, looking at the real intelligence that was available before and after the attack. Topics covered in Cyber Threat Intelligence include: The constant change of the threat environment as capabilities, intent, opportunities, and defenses change and evolve Different business models of threat actors, and how these dictate the choice of victims and the nature of their attacks Planning and executing a threat intelligence programme to improve an organistation’s cyber security posture Techniques for attributing attacks and holding perpetrators to account for their actions Cyber Threat Intelligence describes the intelligence techniques and models used in cyber threat intelligence. It provides a survey of ideas, views and concepts, rather than offering a hands-on practical guide. It is intended for anyone who wishes to learn more about the domain, particularly if they wish to develop a career in intelligence, and as a reference for those already working in the area.

This book has arisen out of a need for a text which tackles the special issues relating to coaching children (from 6 - 16) in sport. Academics (many with coaching experience) and practitioners have been commissioned to write on their specialist areas.
Children participate in sport at all levels, from school involvement to international competitions. With the growing concern about the mental and physical pressures which can be exerted on a child, the coach's traditional role is developing and expanding. They now need to be aware of the ways problems like depression, anxiety and sports injuries occur and how they can be prevented. This book has been written to fill the gap which exists between the theory and practice of coaching children. Academics (many with coaching experience) and practitioners have been commissioned to write on their specialist areas. The book contains clear, accessible information divided up into five parts: children in the world of sport; developmental changes in children; psychological aspects of participation; applications to the coaching process; and good practice in coaching. Within these parts, the theory behind the need for good communication, counselling, training, dealing with injuries and nutrition is given, along with examples of how to put these ideas into practice. This book should be of interest to sports coaches and undergraduates on physical education, sports studies and sports science courses
Every three years, researchers with interest and expertise in transport survey methods meet to improve and influence the conduct of surveys that support transportation planning, policy making, modelling, and monitoring related issues for urban, regional, intercity, and international person, vehicle, and commodity movements. This book compiles the critical thinking on priority topics in contemporary transport policy and planning contexts. The contributed papers cover two key themes related to types of decision-making of importance to the development of data collection on both passenger travel and freight movements: the first theme, Selecting the Right Survey Method, acknowledges the fact that transport survey methods are evolving to meet both changing uses of transport survey data and the challenges of conducting surveys within contemporary society. The second theme, Supporting Transport Planning and Policy, recognizes that the demands on transportation data programs to support decision-making for transport planning and policy making clearly have evolved.The chapters have been selected with particular emphasis on the challenges of the near and medium term future to the design of transport surveys. Rapidly evolving problems and policy contexts are compelling transport researchers to advance the state-of-the-art of methods, tools, strategies and protocols, while assuring the stability and coherence of the very data from which trends can be tracked and understood and on which important decisions can be made.
This book argues that the issues surrounding sustainable transport constitute a new - post-modern - phase in transport policy and management
This book is a new chapter in a continuing international collaboration on transportation survey methods. It identifies new challenges to the world community of transport survey specialists as well as the larger constituency of practitioners, planners, and decision-makers that it serves and provides potential solutions and recommendations for addressing them. The book is structured around an introduction and five overlapping themes of major contemporary importance to the development of data collection on both passenger travel and freight movements which are: Sustainability and User Adaptation; Global Social Issues; Freight and Transit Planning; Technology applications; and, Emerging/Persistent Survey Issues, including Data Harmonization".
Tools are developing rapidly to aid public agencies and consultants
with the management of land-use and transportation. Ever more
powerful computers promise new generations of simulation models
that allow novel investment strategies and public policies to be
"tried on for size" before they are introduced. But for these
models to reach their full potential, they must represent human
behaviour in a realistic way. This book examines the behavioural
foundations, often simplistic, that have limited land-use and
transportation models in the past, and recommends alternative
assumptions, frameworks and methods. At the heart of these are ways
to measure and represent the processes of decision-making that lead
to the organisation of human activities in time and space. All the
main urban decision-makers are involved, including individuals,
households, property developers, owners of shops and leisure
facilities, employers, and public officials. The focus ranges from
daily decisions of households concerning what to do, where and when
to do it, and by what travel mode, to longer term decisions
concerning residential choice, vehicle holdings or land consumption
by housing and business entities. Collectively, these intentional
micro-level behaviours culminate in aggregate flows of traffic and
urban growth that may be unintended and contrary to public policy.
The book is an essential guide to these behavioural foundations for
anyone evaluating the environmental sustainability, healthiness and
equitability of access to activities and services in city regions.
This book was a product of the PROCESSUS international network research programme, funded principally by the Social Sciences and HumanitiesResearch Council of Canada (SSHRC), the Canadian Network of Centres of Excellence in geomatics (GEOIDE), and the Quebec Ministry of Transport.
This book argues that the issues surrounding sustainable transport constitute a new - post-modern - phase in transport policy and management. Achieving sustainable transport requires more than 'optimal' management of congestion and the effects on public health and the environment. Assessments of external effects, and their optimal levels, tend to be piecemeal, localized, and focused on a specific type of effect. Sustainability, on the other hand, is a comprehensive, forward-looking concept that encompasses the achievement of a state of society that is better overall; it requires a widened concept of welfare that includes environmental quality and social justice in both the short and long term. This book is organized into three sections, each discussing a major set of challenges to the transition to a sustainable transport system.
The first comprehensive study of the music of Frederick Delius (1862-1934), from his earliest pieces up to his final compositions, with background information and a complete list of works. There are many biographies and articles about Frederick Delius's life (1862-1934), but there has never been a comprehensive book about his music until now. Everything he wrote, from his earliest compositions right up to his finalworks, is analysed here; the history and background of each work and its critical reception are all examined, set against events in Delius's life and the wider musical world. The book contains numerous music examples and quotations from many contemporary newspapers and journals. A complete list of all of Delius's works, with catalogue numbers, and a select bibliography are also provided. MARTIN LEE-BROWNE is the Chairman of The Delius Society, a former Chairman of the Gloucester Three Choirs Festival, and author of The Life & Times of Frederic Austin (1996). PAUL GUINERY is a pianist and associate of the Royal College of Music, as well as a former broadcaster for BBC Radio 3 and co-author (with Lyndon Jenkins) of Delius and Fenby, A Photographic Journey (The Delius Society, 2004).
