    Abstract: Despite deploying the latest security technologies, organizations still struggle to defend cloud-based web applications against sophisticated cyberattacks. Many companies have turned to the popular defense-in-depth (DiD) technique, but this multilayered approach has its shortcomings. So where is the industry headed next? This insightful ebook demonstrates a new approach to DiD that enables current security tools to operate in concert rather than independently. Stephen Gates, edge security evangelist and SME at Oracle Dyn, shows you how companies can establish integrated lines of defense similar to the way in which modern militaries operate on the battlefield. By the end of this book, CSOs, CISOs, security managers, and other professionals will understand how to implement the recommendations in this book today using the security technologies they already have in place. With this ebook, you'll examine: Why today's security technologies alone aren't enough to protect web applications How the existing approach to DiD for cybersecurity falls short of its goals An example of how the modern military uses integrated lines of defense that work in concert Eight lines of defense-including edge routers, DDoS defenses, and WAFs-that are best for protecting cloud-based web applications Ways to use automation and supervised machine learning to integrate your security approaches

    Abstract: Every decade since the 1960s, researchers at companies like IBM, Amazon, and many others have introduced major new frameworks and techniques to handle rising data management problems. This concise ebook explains how these new systems helped data science evolve quickly-from hierarchical and relational databases to big data and cloud computing to streaming and graph data. Computer scientist Paco Nathan shows members of your data science team how major companies created each of these data management systems not just to deal with new data types but also to take full advantage of the opportunities the data presented. Their efforts over the years have propelled an entire industry. This report covers the historical progression of data management topics including: Hierarchical databases -1960s mainframe batch systems are still used in finance, healthcare, manufacturing, energy, and other industries. Relational databases -these enabled faster transactions, mathematical optimization, and budgeting guarantees for many businesses. Big data -this includes relatively cheap horizontal scale-out systems for collecting huge amounts of customer data. Cloud computing -large companies began managing reliable, scalable, cost-effective data centers; Amazon turned the concept into a business. Cluster schedulers -managing horizontal clusters was difficult before schedulers such as Apache Mesos appeared. Streaming data -data continuously generated by different sources requires responses in "real time"-generally milliseconds.

    Abstract: Understand how to apply distributed tracing to microservices-based architectures Key Features A thorough conceptual introduction to distributed tracing An exploration of the most important open standards in the space A how-to guide for code instrumentation and operating a tracing infrastructure Book Description Mastering Distributed Tracing will equip you to operate and enhance your own tracing infrastructure. Through practical exercises and code examples, you will learn how end-to-end tracing can be used as a powerful application performance management and comprehension tool. The rise of Internet-scale companies, like Google and Amazon, ushered in a new era of distributed systems operating on thousands of nodes across multiple data centers. Microservices increased that complexity, often exponentially. It is harder to debug these systems, track down failures, detect bottlenecks, or even simply understand what is going on. Distributed tracing focuses on solving these problems for complex distributed systems. Today, tracing standards have developed and we have much faster systems, making instrumentation less intrusive and data more valuable. Yuri Shkuro, the creator of Jaeger, a popular open-source distributed tracing system, delivers end-to-end coverage of the field in Mastering Distributed Tracing. Review the history and theoretical foundations of tracing; solve the data gathering problem through code instrumentation, with open standards like OpenTracing, W3C Trace Context, and OpenCensus; and discuss the benefits and applications of a distributed tracing infrastructure for understanding, and profiling, complex systems. What you will learn How to get started with using a distributed tracing system How to get the most value out of end-to-end tracing Learn about open standards in the space Learn about code instrumentation and operating a tracing infrastructure Learn where distributed tracing fits into microservices as a core function Who this book is for Any developer interested in testing large systems will find this book very revealing and in places, surprising. Every microservice architect and developer should have an insight into distributed tracing, and the book will help them on their way. System administrators with some development skills will also benefit. No particular programming language skills are required, although an ability to read Java, while non-essential, will help with the core chapters.

    Abstract: Today's successful businesses are increasingly digital and technologically astute, but how do they attract and manage employees in a world where two billion people work part-time? How do they develop a workforce when automation is advancing? And how do they serve customers and attract and retain employees when competition for both is high and trust is at an all-time low? In this O'Reilly Radar report, Josh Bersin, Tim O'Reilly, Roger Magoulas, and Mike Loukides address what business leaders, tech leaders, and decision makers can expect, how they can prepare, and what they should learn to shape the future of the business. These lessons affect much more than the bottom line. This report covers big-picture trends we expect to impact the future success of all firms, including: Trust in business is changing: customers seek firms whose values reflect their own. Employees want satisfaction and meaning, not just money and security. The shift to AI and machine learning is changing almost every job. Companies are becoming networked marketplaces that build on core competencies while outsourcing the rest. Many firms offer compensation beyond pay, including alternate work relationships, flexible workplaces, and training opportunities. Embracing diversity requires solving compensation problems, creating a safe workplace, and valuing an employee's opinions.

Design patterns are commonly accepted solutions to well-recognized design problems. In essence, they are a library of reusable components, only for software architecture, and not for a concrete implementation. The focus of this book is on the design patterns that naturally lend themselves to the needs of a C++ programmer, and on the patterns that uniquely benefit from the features of C++, in particular, the generic programming. Armed with the knowledge of these patterns, you will spend less time searching for a solution to a common problem and be familiar with the solutions developed from experience, as well as their advantages and drawbacks. The other use of design patterns is as a concise and an efficient way to communicate. A pattern is a familiar and instantly recognizable solution to specific problem; through its use, sometimes with a single line of code, we can convey a considerable amount of information. The code conveys: "This is the problem we are facing, these are additional considerations that are most important in our case; hence, the following well-known solution was chosen." By the end of this book, you will have gained a comprehensive understanding of design patterns to create robust, reusable, and maintainable code. What you will learn Recognize the most common design patterns used in C++ Understand how to use C++ generic programming to solve common design problems Explore the most powerful C++ idioms, their strengths, and drawbacks Rediscover how to use popular C++ idioms with generic programming Understand the impact of design patterns on the program's performance Who this book is for This book is for experienced C++ developers and programmers who wish to learn about software design patterns and principles and apply them to create robust, reusable, and easily maintainable apps.
