One Man's Dream

Steve Blum

Sinopse

The mountains had called to Steve for the better part of thirty years, but not until John Long came into his life did he have the opportunity to make his dreams a reality. A host of interesting stories about a long life in the mountains and a unique proposition by John finally brought Steve to a hidden valley in the Rocky Mountains, where he quickly fell into a contented life of solitude. A life in the remote mountains wasn't easy, and Steve soon found predators to be a daily source of concern. But Steve and his trusty dog, Mouse, soon became part of the land, living a comfortable life and preparing for a long, harsh winter. However, a small plane crash soon jolted Steve out of his quiet life and into a world where love was realized and where human predators were a far bigger threat than any animal he would encounter. Steve's devotion to a young woman and her children and an urgent need to protect not only their lives, but his life as well, soon led Steve to hatch a plan that would require using everything he had learned about the land- along with the unexpected help of a young pup.

Identity Security for Software...

Uzi Ailon, John Walsh, Matt Barker

Maintaining secrets, credentials, and machine identities in secure ways is an important, though often overlooked, aspect of secure software development. DevOps security often addresses vulnerabilities, but it neglects broader discussions like authentication, authorization, and access control, potentially leaving the door open for breaches. That's where an identity security strategy integrated in your code, infrastructure, and environments from day one can help. 
 
 
 
In this practical book, authors John Walsh, Uzi Ailon, and Matt Barker provide conceptual frameworks, technology overviews, and useful code snippets to bridge the gap between development, IT, and security to integrate robust identity security across apps, CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes and cloud native, hybrid and multicloud, process automation, IoT, and more. You'll learn: 
 
 
 
● What developers need to know about managing secrets and identity to build safer apps 
 
 
 
● What machine identities, secrets, and credentials are—and how to secure them 
 
 
 
● How to secure the software supply chain to build safer apps 
 
 
 
● How identity security fits into modern software development practices

In Our Own Words - Nurses on the...

Jonathan Jansen, Hester Klopper,...

'I proudly wear my badge as a Covid-19 front-line hero. I believe I was meant to be where I am during these trying times.'
Our nurses have witnessed the pandemic first hand, compassionately caring for patients amid war-like circumstances.
The havoc caused by the pandemic highlighted existing fault lines in the South African health system, and nurses faced shortages of staff and vital life-saving equipment. Colleagues tested positive and died. Visitors were not allowed, so nurses had to be intermediaries between patients and desperate family trying to glean information on the phone. Despite these pressures, they remained at the forefront of the fight against the deadly virus.
This book brings together deeply personal stories of caring for patients in wards and ICU, of feeling overwhelmed, and experiencing the fear of getting infected and passing Covid on to their families. There are also moving tales of personal growth and finding renewed purpose. In Our Own Words shows the extreme resilience of nurses – even in the face of adversity. And that at the core of a 'true' nurse remains the commitment to the patient.
'A powerful and moving account from the coalface of the Covid-19 response – this is a must read!' – Salim Abdool Karim
