    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
- Advanced controlsDon't delay – start protecting your organisation from ransomware and buy this book today!

    Fundamentals of Clinical...

    Clinical medicine is the foundation of healthcare, encompassing the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases and medical conditions. It involves direct interaction with patients, applying medical knowledge, and using diagnostic tools to provide appropriate care. Physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals rely on clinical medicine to bridge the gap between theoretical science and real-world patient care. 
One of the primary objectives of clinical medicine is to assess and diagnose illnesses based on a combination of patient history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests. This systematic approach enables healthcare providers to determine the most effective treatment options while considering patient-specific factors such as age, genetics, lifestyle, and pre-existing conditions. The process of diagnosis is both an art and a science, requiring not only medical expertise but also strong analytical and problem-solving skills. 
Treatment in clinical medicine varies depending on the condition and severity of the illness. It may involve pharmacological interventions, surgical procedures, lifestyle modifications, or a combination of these. In addition to treating diseases, clinical medicine emphasizes preventive care, aiming to reduce the risk of illness through vaccinations, screenings, and patient education. The shift toward preventive medicine has proven to be an essential strategy in reducing healthcare costs and improving overall public health.

    What if the greatest mystery of Nutrition… has gone unnoticed? 
For generations we have accepted tidy explanations: 
Eat this, avoid that, follow the rules. 
But beneath the surface, something just doesn’t add up. 
The human body thrives without our conscious control: 
Meals disappear, nutrients are sorted, and energy appears out of nowhere – with no chef, no control tower, no captain. 
Which really begs the question: how does it all work? 
The Engineered Primate is a journey into the logistics of life. It is an exploration of the hidden mechanisms that shape us from the inside out. Each chapter peels back a layer: 
Why does digestion even exist? 
What was the environmental pressure in deep time that made a digestive system necessary? 
How does order arise in a body with no conscious overseer? 
…and why have we rarely asked these questions when creating our nutritional models? 
This is not another diet manual. 
It is a trail of clues inviting you to reconsider what you thought you knew about the very act of eating.
