Sinossi

"GPS Revolution" offers a compelling journey through the evolution of satellite navigation technology, tracing its remarkable transformation from a Cold War military innovation to an integral part of modern life. Beginning with the unexpected revelation during Sputnik's 1957 launch that satellites could determine precise Earth locations, the book weaves together technical developments, policy decisions, and societal impacts that have shaped our relationship with global positioning technology.

 
The narrative expertly balances technical depth with accessibility, exploring how the original network of 24 GPS satellites expanded into today's multi-system environment that includes GLONASS and Galileo. Through declassified military records and expert interviews, readers discover fascinating insights about the system's development, such as how the removal of selective availability in 2000 dramatically improved civilian GPS accuracy, and how complex mathematical triangulation principles enable meter-level positioning precision.

 
The book progressively examines three fundamental themes: technical evolution, democratization of precise positioning, and societal impact, supported by real-world applications across various sectors. From precision agriculture to emergency response systems, the author demonstrates how satellite navigation continues to revolutionize different industries while addressing contemporary challenges like signal spoofing and system vulnerabilities.

 
This comprehensive exploration culminates in a discussion of future developments, including the potential of quantum technologies and the integration of multiple satellite systems, making it an invaluable resource for both technical professionals and curious general readers.

    Cloud platforms face unique security issues and opportunities because of their evolving designs and API-driven automation. We will learn cloud-specific strategies for securing platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and others. The book will help you implement data asset management, identity and access management, network security, vulnerability management, incident response, and compliance in your cloud environment. 
    This book helps cybersecurity teams strengthen their security posture by mitigating cyber risk when "targets" shift to the cloud. The book will assist you in identifying security issues and show you how to achieve best-in-class cloud security. It also includes new cybersecurity best practices for daily, weekly, and monthly processes that you can combine with your other daily IT and security operations to meet NIST criteria. 
    This book teaches how to leverage cloud computing by addressing the shared responsibility paradigm required to meet PCI-DSS, ISO 27001/2, and other standards. It will help you choose the right cloud security stack for your ecosystem. Moving forward, we will discuss the architecture and framework, building blocks of native cloud security controls, adoption of required security compliance, and the right culture to adopt this new paradigm shift in the ecosystem.
