Microsoft Sentinel in Action - Architect design implement and operate Microsoft Sentinel as the core of your security solutions

John Perkins, Gary Busey, Richard Diver

Summary

Microsoft Sentinel is a security information and event management (SIEM) tool developed by Microsoft that helps you integrate cloud security and artificial intelligence (AI). This book will teach you how to implement Microsoft Sentinel and understand how it can help detect security incidents in your environment with integrated AI, threat analysis, and built-in and community-driven logic.

The first part of this book will introduce you to Microsoft Sentinel and Log Analytics, then move on to understanding data collection and management, as well as how to create effective Microsoft Sentinel queries to detect anomalous behaviors and activity patterns. The next part will focus on useful features, such as entity behavior analytics and Microsoft Sentinel playbooks, along with exploring the new bi-directional connector for ServiceNow. In the next part, you’ll be learning how to develop solutions that automate responses needed to handle security incidents and find out more about the latest developments in security, techniques to enhance your cloud security architecture, and explore how you can contribute to the security community.

By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to implement Microsoft Sentinel to fit your needs and protect your environment from cyber threats and other security issues.

The Physics of Everyday Things -...

Mark Hedges

Motion is a fundamental aspect of the physical world, affecting everything we do and experience. From walking down the street to driving a car, the principles of motion are always at work. In physics, understanding the forces that cause and influence motion is essential to understanding how objects behave in the world around us. This chapter will explore Newton's laws of motion and the application of forces in our daily lives, helping to make sense of the movements and actions that shape our experiences.
At the heart of motion is Newton's First Law, also known as the Law of Inertia. This law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. Essentially, things like to keep doing what they’re doing. For instance, a car coasting down the highway will continue moving unless the brakes are applied, or friction slows it down. This simple concept explains why, when you're in a car that suddenly stops, you feel as if you're still moving forward—your body wants to keep going, even though the car has halted. The application of this principle is not limited to vehicles but can be observed in everyday activities, like pushing a shopping cart or standing still on a bus that starts to move.
Newton's Second Law, the Law of Acceleration, takes it further. It tells us that the force applied to an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration (F = ma). This means that heavier objects require more force to accelerate, while lighter objects can be moved more easily. When you push a sled across the snow, the amount of effort you need depends on how much the sled weighs and how fast you want it to move. This relationship helps explain why it’s harder to get a heavy truck moving than a small bicycle. Understanding this law helps us calculate everything from how much effort it takes to lift an object to how quickly a rocket can launch into space.

Clinical Pathophysiology -...

Ava Westwood

Clinical pathophysiology is a vital field of study that bridges the gap between basic science and clinical practice. It focuses on understanding the mechanisms underlying disease processes and how these mechanisms manifest in the body, leading to clinical symptoms and dysfunction. The ultimate goal of pathophysiology is to enhance the understanding of disease so that healthcare providers can make informed decisions about diagnosis, treatment, and management strategies.
At its core, pathophysiology involves studying the alterations in normal physiological processes caused by disease. These alterations can be the result of a wide range of factors, including infection, genetic mutations, environmental exposures, and lifestyle choices. By examining how diseases develop and progress, pathophysiology helps clinicians recognize patterns of dysfunction and understand the underlying biological changes that drive these patterns.
The role of clinical pathophysiology is crucial in guiding patient care. In clinical practice, understanding the mechanisms of disease allows healthcare professionals to identify the root causes of symptoms, predict the course of diseases, and develop targeted treatment strategies. For example, a deep understanding of the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases enables clinicians to prescribe the most effective interventions for managing conditions like heart failure or arrhythmias. Similarly, pathophysiology helps explain the progression of diseases such as diabetes or cancer, informing decisions on appropriate management and monitoring.

Why Whales Sing

Eduardo Mercado III

With breathtaking complexity and haunting beauty, the songs of whales have long fascinated scientists. Whales are the only mammals that can sing continuously for ten hours or more, changing the unique songs they sing every year. In Why Whales Sing, bioacoustician and cognitive scientist Eduardo Mercado transforms our understanding of these enigmatic sounds and proposes a groundbreaking theory that challenges decades of established science. 
 
Fifty years of field research have led most scientists to conclude that humpback whales sing for the same reason that birds do: to advertise their sexual fitness. But if whale songs are nothing more than tools of attraction, why do whales sing even when they're alone? In light of modern advances in neuroscience and ocean acoustics, Mercado reaches the surprising conclusion that whales may not actually be "singing," but rather engaging in an activity more commonly associated with dolphins and bats—echolocating—which enables them to see their world with sound.  
 
Sophisticated, long-range sonar can enable whales to perceive their vast underwater worlds in unimaginable ways. From the military origins of whale song recordings to the persistent mysteries of cetacean communication, this book displays the wonder of whales and reshapes how we view their intelligence, behavior, and acoustic mastery.
