There is a frontier in the wide field of human inquiry that beckons with unmatched potential and bewildering secrets. This terrain lies not in kilometers or leagues, but in the domain of the minuscule, where the shapes that captivate us are the manifestation of the very essence of existence. It is a world where particles dance in spectral entanglement, where calculations defy the boundaries of conventional cognition, and where information may transcend spatial borders. This book takes you on a tour through the complex web of the quantum realm, exploring this unexplored region. We will explore the amazing discoveries of the past, solve the mysteries of the present, and look into the future as we go forward. We will go through the history of quantum physics, covering topics such as the development of quantum mechanics, the surprising discoveries of quantum entanglement, the exciting possibilities of quantum computing, and the infinite implications for our comprehension of the cosmos. These pages will introduce you to the thinkers who developed quantum theory, challenge your understanding of the paradoxes that characterize it, and show you some amazing technologies that have the potential to completely transform our world. We are going to investigate the deep ramifications of quantum cryptography for cosmology, biology, and other fields, as well as the realms where secrets are protected by the fabric of the universe.

EIN THRILLER, DER UNS DEN ATEM NIMMT. DENN ER KANN MORGEN SCHON REALITÄT SEIN. Ein Mord in der Finanzwelt sorgt für Unruhe in den geheimen Zirkeln des Geldsystems. Die Scotland-Yard-Polizistin Rebecca Winter entdeckt, dass ein geheimer Algorithmus die Ursache für eine einsetzende Mordserie ist: Den Börsen, durch ihre technische und globale Vernetzung angreifbar und manipulierbar wie nie zuvor, droht ein gigantischer Crash. Winter stößt auf einen Plan, der die uns bekannte Zivilisation bis ins tiefste Mark treffen wird. Dass die großen Player wie die Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs & Co. die von ihnen entfesselten Kräfte der Finanzwelten schon lange nicht mehr kontrollieren können, ist mittlerweile jedem klar. Thore D. Hansens Thriller entwirft ein Schreckensszenario, das von Seite zu Seite beklemmender wird – weil das, was er erzählt, möglicherweise längst Wirklichkeit ist. Der ungeklärte Tod eines Investmentbankers führt die Scotland-Yard-Polizistin Rebecca Winter zu dem BND-Agenten und Kryptologen Erik Feg. Er entschlüsselt einen Code, der die automatischen Handelssysteme an den Börsen weltweit manipulieren könnte. Winter und Feg geraten mitten in den Kampf einer unbekannten Gruppe von Herren, die sich in Brüssel und an den Schaltstellen europäischer Politik eingenistet haben, um einen geheimen Plan umzusetzen. Was zunächst nach kriminellen Machenschaften einiger skrupelloser Banker aussieht, entpuppt sich schnell als Abgrund eines globalen Kampfes um die Vorherrschaft des Geldes.

Like most aspects of modern existence, more and more of our financial lives have migrated to the digital realm. With the benefits of ease that our Internet allows us, that transition also raises numerous – and dangerous – threats to national security, our money, and the systems we use to store and transfer it. In TheUnhackable Internet, financial services and technology expert Thomas P. Vartanian exposes the vulnerabilities of the many networks that we rely on today as well as the threats facing the integrity of our national security and financial services sector. From cyberattacks by foreign adversaries like China and Russia, the explosion of cryptocurrency, the advancement of ransomware, phishing, surveillance apps, spying software, and logic bombs, along with the increasing savvy and daring shown by Internet hackers, the next financial panic is likely to be delivered to us through use or abuse of technology. The Unhackable Internet describes how society can remake an Internet that was never conceived as a secure environment and badly tainted by the original sin of substandard coding. Vartanian argues for increasing the use of private and offline network infrastructures, controlling the ownership of Internet infrastructure, and imposing enhanced authentication, governance, and enforcement standards. This online universe would look more like our analog lives, authenticating all digital traffic to a real person and removing any virtual traveler that violated the new rules of the road. The Unhackable Internet poses a challenge to America: take the lead and create a coalition of democratic nations to implement financial cyber strategies or be left with no counterweight short of military power to respond to those who weaponize technology. This comprehensive and compelling book makes it clear that nothing less than the control of global economies is up for grabs, and that how we use technology is our choice.

Turn cyber intelligence into meaningful business decisions and reduce losses from cyber events Cyber Intelligence-Driven Risk provides a solution to one of the most pressing issues that executives and risk managers face: How can we weave information security into our business decisions to minimize overall business risk? In today's complex digital landscape, business decisions and cyber event responses have implications for information security that high-level actors may be unable to foresee. What we need is a cybersecurity command center capable of delivering, not just data, but concise, meaningful interpretations that allow us to make informed decisions. Building, buying, or outsourcing a CI-DRTM program is the answer. In his work with executives at leading financial organizations and with the U.S. military, author Richard O. Moore III has tested and proven this next-level approach to Intelligence and Risk. This book is a guide to: Building, buying, or outsourcing a cyber intelligence–driven risk program Understanding the functional capabilities needed to sustain the program Using cyber intelligence to support Enterprise Risk Management Reducing loss from cyber events by building new organizational capacities Supporting mergers and acquisitions with predictive analytics Each function of a well-designed cyber intelligence-driven risk program can support informed business decisions in the era of increased complexity and emergent cyber threats.

Building resilience -- the ability to bounce back more quickly and effectively -- is an urgent social and economic issue. Our interconnected world is susceptible to sudden and dramatic shocks and stresses: a cyber-attack, a new strain of virus, a structural failure, a violent storm, a civil disturbance, an economic blow. Through an astonishing range of stories, Judith Rodin shows how people, organizations, businesses, communities, and cities have developed resilience in the face of otherwise catastrophic challenges: Medellin, Colombia, was once the drug and murder capital of South America. Now it's host to international conferences and an emerging vacation destination. Tulsa, Oklahoma, cracked the code of rapid urban development in a floodplain. Airbnb, Toyota, Ikea, Coca-Cola, and other companies have realized the value of reducing vulnerabilities and potential threats to customers, employees, and their bottom line. In the Mau Forest of Kenya, bottom-up solutions are critical for dealing with climate change, environmental degradation, and displacement of locals. Following Superstorm Sandy, the Rockaway Surf Club in New York played a vital role in distributing emergency supplies. As we grow more adept at managing disruption and more skilled at resilience-building, Rodin reveals how we are able to create and take advantage of new economic and social opportunities that offer us the capacity to recover after catastrophes and grow strong in times of relative calm.

In 2011, Nasser Al-Awlaki, a terrorist on the US 'kill list' in Yemen, was targeted by the CIA. A week later, a military strike killed his son. The following year, the US Ambassador to Pakistan resigned, undermined by CIA-conducted drone strikes of which he had no knowledge or control. The demands of the new, borderless 'gray area' conflict have cast civilians and military into unaccustomed roles with inadequate legal underpinning. As the Department of Homeland Security defends against cyber threats and civilian contractors work in paramilitary roles abroad, the legal boundaries of war demand to be outlined. In this book, former Under Secretary of the Air Force Antonia Chayes examines these new 'gray areas' in counterinsurgency, counter-terrorism and cyber warfare. Her innovative solutions for role definition and transparency will establish new guidelines in a rapidly evolving military-legal environment.
