Summary

'SSD vs HDD' delivers a thorough examination of modern data storage technologies, helping readers understand the critical differences between solid-state drives and traditional hard disk drives. The book navigates through the fundamental architectural distinctions between these technologies, tracing their evolution from the earliest HDDs of the 1950s to today's advanced storage solutions, while maintaining a clear focus on practical decision-making factors.

 
The analysis is structured around three key areas: performance metrics (including read/write speeds and IOPS), reliability considerations (examining failure rates and wear patterns), and cost implications (analyzing price-per-gigabyte and total ownership costs). By incorporating real-world case studies and empirical data from enterprise deployments, the book brings technical concepts to life through practical examples.

 
The content is particularly valuable for IT professionals and decision-makers who need to make informed choices about storage solutions for various computing environments. What sets this work apart is its balanced approach to technical depth and accessibility, supported by benchmark data and independent laboratory testing results.

 
The book addresses current industry trends, including NVMe protocols and hybrid storage solutions, while providing specific recommendations for different use cases - from personal computing to enterprise-level implementations. Through decision frameworks and comparative matrices, readers gain practical tools for evaluating storage options based on their specific needs and constraints, making complex technical decisions more manageable.

    Embark on a captivating journey that will fundamentally change how you see cancer—and perhaps life itself. Cancer is more than a disease. It is an integral part of who we are—complex biological and cultural beings with a limited life span. You will be surprised, challenged, and even amused by this eloquent synthesis of knowledge. Firmly rooted in science and the principles of evolution, this book is a must-read if you aim to understand cancer. 
    Jarle Breivik (MD, PhD, EdD) is a professor of medicine at the University of Oslo and a former Fulbright Scholar with a doctorate in education from the University of Pennsylvania. He is internationally recognized for his research on the evolutionary dynamics of cancer. His thought-provoking analyses represented in The New York Times, Scientific American, PNAS, EMBO Reports, and Wired Magazine, and have stimulated a profound debate about cancer, research, and biotechnology. In this book, Dr. Breivik brings it all together in a captivating story about humanity. 
    *** 
    “This remarkable book is not simply about cancer. It is a beautiful story about what it means to be human. It took me places I had never thought of and ended on a cliff hanger about the future of our civilization. I eagerly await the follow-up.” 
    —RICHARD SMITH, former Editor-in-Chief, The BMJ (British Medical Journal) 
    *** 
    “This book grabbed me like a thriller! As a cancer patient, I have asked many questions. My father also had bladder cancer, and my brother died of leukemia. This book helped me understand and accept.” 
    —ELIN SCHIVE, cancer survivor 
    *** 
    “With his panoramic view of cancer, Breivik’s brilliant writing and thought-provoking reflections will captivate both laypeople and researchers. A must-read that skillfully connects the life sciences in an illuminating manner.” 
    —MANUEL PERUCHO, professor em., Sanford Burnham Prebys, and Institute of Predictive and Personalized Medicine of Cancer.

    The fastest-growing malware in the world
    The core functionality of ransomware is two-fold: to encrypt data and deliver the ransom message. This encryption can be relatively basic or maddeningly complex, and it might affect only a single device or a whole network.
    Ransomware is the fastest-growing malware in the world. In 2015, it cost companies around the world $325 million, which rose to $5 billion by 2017 and is set to hit $20 billion in 2021. The threat of ransomware is not going to disappear, and while the number of ransomware attacks remains steady, the damage they cause is significantly increasing.  
    It is the duty of all business leaders to protect their organisations and the data they rely on by doing whatever is reasonably possible to mitigate the risk posed by ransomware. To do that, though, they first need to understand the threats they are facing.
    The Ransomware Threat Landscape
    This book sets out clearly how ransomware works, to help business leaders better understand the strategic risks, and explores measures that can be put in place to protect the organisation. These measures are structured so that any organisation can approach them. Those with more resources and more complex environments can build them into a comprehensive system to minimise risks, while smaller organisations can secure their profiles with simpler, more straightforward implementation.
    Suitable for senior directors, compliance managers, privacy managers, privacy officers, IT staff, security analysts and admin staff – in fact, all staff who use their organisation's network/online systems to perform their role – The Ransomware Threat Landscape: Prepare for, recognise and survive ransomware attacks will help readers understand the ransomware threat they face.
    From basic cyber hygiene to more advanced controls, the book gives practical guidance on individual activities, introduces implementation steps organisations can take to increase their cyber resilience, and explores why cyber security is imperative. Topics covered include:
    
    - Introduction
    - About ransomware
    
    - Basic measures
    - An anti-ransomware
    
    - The control framework
    - Risk management
    - Controls
    - Maturity
    - Basic controls
    - Additional controls for larger organiations
