    While some professions—including medicine, law, and engineering—have wholeheartedly embraced wide-ranging codes of ethics and conduct, the field of cybersecurity continues to lack an overarching ethical standard. This vacuum constitutes a significant threat to the safety of consumers and businesses around the world, slows commerce, and delays innovation. 
     
     
     
    The Code of Honor: Embracing Ethics in Cybersecurity delivers a first of its kind comprehensive discussion of the ethical challenges that face contemporary information security workers, managers, and executives. Authors Ed Skoudis, president of the SANS Technology Institute College and founder of the Counter Hack team, and Dr. Paul Maurer, president of Montreat College, explain how timeless ethical wisdom gives birth to the Cybersecurity Code which is currently being adopted by security practitioners and leaders around the world. 
     
     
     
    This practical book tells numerous engaging stories that highlight ethically complex situations many cybersecurity and tech professionals commonly encounter. It also contains compelling real-world case studies—called Critical Applications—at the end of each chapter that help the listener determine how to apply the hands-on skills described in the book.

    The Great Resignation - The Race...

    On the surface, the average workplace seems picture-perfect. But despite all the hard-fought gains scored over the years by employees, women, especially of color, are still facing numerous unique challenges which often tend to be misunderstood, read out of context, ignored, or employers and colleagues are oblivious to their existence. In most cases, this practice is more prevalent in male-dominated industries. 
    Instead of staying on to fight, conform, explain themselves, or wait to be understood, women of color are choosing to leave these industries for women-dominated fields, or venture into business quietly, and in large numbers. The result is a silent exodus that threatens to upset the dynamics of the workplace as we know it, and lead to the loss of an integral and productive part of the workforce, which in turn, could lead to immeasurable losses to all stakeholders if not urgently addressed.  
    This book is meant to shake up how we think about equity, inclusion, and our shared responsibility. When women of color leaders step back, we all move backward. In The Great Resignation: A Race to Save Women of Color Leaders in the Workplace – and Our Collective Roles, Deejay Mash lays bare the stakes—and shows how you can be part of the solution.  
    Ready to lead change?  
    Which pressing issues are affecting women of color and prompting them to leave their jobs? What role can we play to protect the rich diversity and integrity of the workplace? How can we ensure that growth opportunities are equally accessible to all in the workplace?  
    These are just a few of the critical questions this book sets out to interrogate and seek comprehensive answers to – and as it turns out, everybody involved holds a vital piece of the puzzle.  
    Join the movement to uplift women of color, challenge systemic barriers, and re-imagine workplaces where everyone thrives.

In Time-Out, its CEO, Josep Lagares, presents in a practical and dynamic tone the approach of this methodology, the result of continuous learning in an environment of finite resources and full of existential challenges.
