The CERT Guide to Insider Threats: How to Prevent, Detect, and Respond to Information Technology Crimes
The CERT Guide to Insider Threats: How to Prevent, Detect, and Respond to Information Technology Crimes By Dawn M. Cappelli, Andrew P. Moore, Randall F. Trzeciak
2012 | 432 Pages | ISBN: 0321812573 | EPUB + PDF | 8 MB + 5 MB

Since 2001, the CERT® Insider Threat Center at Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute (SEI) has collected and analyzed information about more than seven hundred insider cyber crimes, ranging from national security espionage to theft of trade secrets. The CERT® Guide to Insider Threats describes CERT’s findings in practical terms, offering specific guidance and countermeasures that can be immediately applied by executives, managers, security officers, and operational staff within any private, government, or military organization.

The authors systematically address attacks by all types of malicious insiders, including current and former employees, contractors, business partners, outsourcers, and even cloud-computing vendors. They cover all major types of insider cyber crime: IT sabotage, intellectual property theft, and fraud. For each, they present a crime profile describing how the crime tends to evolve over time, as well as motivations, attack methods, organizational issues, and precursor warnings that could have helped the organization prevent the incident or detect it earlier. Beyond identifying crucial patterns of suspicious behavior, the authors present concrete defensive measures for protecting both systems and data.

This book also conveys the big picture of the insider threat problem over time: the complex interactions and unintended consequences of existing policies, practices, technology, insider mindsets, and organizational culture. Most important, it offers actionable recommendations for the entire organization, from executive management and board members to IT, data owners, HR, and legal departments.

With this book, you will find out how to

Identify hidden signs of insider IT sabotage, theft of sensitive information, and fraud
Recognize insider threats throughout the software development life cycle
Use advanced threat controls to resist attacks by both technical and nontechnical insiders
Increase the effectiveness of existing technical security tools by enhancing rules, configurations, and associated business processes
Prepare for unusual insider attacks, including attacks linked to organized crime or the Internet underground

By implementing this book’s security practices, you will be incorporating protection mechanisms designed to resist the vast majority of malicious insider attacks.

The Hoarder in You: How to Live a Happier, Healthier, Uncluttered Life (Audiobook) By Dr. Robin Zasio, read by Cassandra Campbell

The Hoarder in You: How to Live a Happier, Healthier, Uncluttered Life (Audiobook) By Dr. Robin Zasio, read by Cassandra Campbell
Unabridged edition 2011 | 7 hours and 37 mins | ISBN: 1452655499 | MP3 64 kbps | 204 MB

We all have treasured possessions-a favorite pair of shoes, a much-beloved chair, an ever-expanding record collection. But sometimes, this emotional attachment to our belongings can spiral out of control and culminate into a condition called compulsive hoarding. From hobbyists and collectors to pack rats and compulsive shoppers-it is close to impossible for hoarders to relinquish their precious objects, even if it means that stuff takes over their lives and their homes.According to psychologist Dr. Robin Zasio, our fascination with hoarding stems from the fact that most of us fall somewhere on the hoarding continuum. Even though it may not regularly interfere with our everyday lives, to some degree or another, many of us hoard.The Hoarder in You provides practical advice for decluttering and organizing, including how to tame the emotional pull of acquiring additional things, make order out of chaos by getting a handle on clutter, and create an organizational system that reduces stress and anxiety. Dr. Zasio also shares some of the most serious cases of hoarding that she’s encountered, and explains how we can learn from these extreme examples-no matter where we are on the hoarding continuum.
