Digital Earth - Cyber threats...

Sarah Katz

Digital Earth – Cyber threats, privacy and ethics in an age of paranoia
Whether it's the next big ransomware attack or cyber terrorism, digital threats have evolved drastically in recent years. Issues surrounding phishing, misinformation, cyber terrorism, physical security, and privacy continue to arise for both individual users and large enterprises.
With technology an intrinsic part of our everyday lives, we need to be aware of digital threats, and be able to identify other threats such as phishing, ransomware, and spyware before they can wreak havoc in our professional or personal lives.
This book discusses the most prevalent technological threats that we face today. It is an accessible guide that highlights the most common cyber attacks, and explores data ethics and privacy in an age where we hold so much of our PII (personally identifiable information) online.
It covers cyber threats such as phishing, disinformation versus misinformation in a post-COVID-19 world, cyber terrorism, and the power of social media, and analyzes ever-evolving privacy concerns in response to technological advances. For example, does the use of drones by law enforcement offer us complete security or raise questions around the privacy of citizens?
The book focuses on:

- The spike in phishing amid the COVID-19 pandemic
- Cyber terrorism
- The risks associated with social media
- Whether drones are a search-and-rescue solution or the all-seeing eye in the sky

CEO Led Sales - The new model to...

Andrew Phillips

CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the CEO.
As the CEO of a sales organisation, how many times have you said to yourself:
"thank god our customers are buying because we're not selling"
"we had ten-times pipeline coverage, but we still missed our number?"
Or ... heard from your sales leads the following:
"the person who was going to sign off on our deal has gone on leave"
"this is a strategic deal - we must discount to win"
"they decided to do nothing?"
If these lines sound familiar, then your sales team is stuck in the past. They are struggling to keep pace
with the market and will continue to stumble into the future. That's not to say you won't make your
numbers on occasion, but you can be guaranteed your company won't be the clear leader in its market.
This creates distrust with your sales team and that uneasy feeling of not being sure you will meet your
targets.
Is there a better way?
After twenty years as a senior IT sales leader addressing this problem and demonstrating measurable
success across multiple organisations, Andrew Phillips knows there is.
CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve
your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the
CEO.
The process is a multi-year investment to transform your sales organisation. It's challenging, but the
results are consistent and the revenue reliable. Andrew Phillips invites you to take the next step and
discover the benefits of CEO-Led Sales.

Tech for Good - Leveraging...

Craig Dames

Technology has always played a pivotal role in shaping human progress, but in recent decades, its influence on social change has grown exponentially. From transforming communication to increasing access to essential services, technology is now at the core of how societies evolve and address global challenges. It empowers individuals, communities, and organizations to reimagine solutions to complex problems, bridging gaps that once seemed insurmountable.
At its core, technology offers new tools and platforms that can amplify voices, mobilize movements, and bring about systemic change. Social media, for instance, has given marginalized groups a global stage to share their experiences and demand justice. Hashtags like #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter are powerful examples of how digital platforms can ignite social movements, encourage dialogue, and influence policy at a global scale. These platforms break down traditional barriers, enabling people from different backgrounds to unite around shared causes and take collective action.
Beyond communication, technology is transforming how we approach issues like poverty, education, and health. Innovative applications such as mobile banking have given millions of people in underserved regions access to financial services for the first time. Similarly, online learning platforms are helping bridge educational gaps, allowing students in remote areas to gain knowledge and skills that would otherwise be out of reach. These advancements not only improve individual lives but also contribute to the development of more equitable and inclusive societies.
