Cybersecurity Public Policy SWOT Analysis Conducted on 43 Countries

Cybersecurity Public Policy SWOT Analysis Conducted on 43 Countries

Since 2000 many governments parliaments and ministries have worked diligently to define effective guidelines that safeguard both public and private sector information systems as well as information assets from unwanted cyberattacks and unauthorized system intrusion. While some countries manage successful cybersecurity public policies that undergo modification and revision annually other countries struggle to define such policies effectively because cybersecurity is not a priority within their country. For countries that have begun to define cybersecurity public policy there remains a need to stay current with trends in cyber defense and information system security information not necessarily readily available for all countries. This research evaluates 43 countries' cybersecurity public policy utilizing a SWOT analysis; Afghanistan Australia Bermuda Canada Chili Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Dubai Egypt Estonia European Union Finland Gambia Germany Greece Hungary Iceland Ireland Italy Japan Kenya Kosovo Kuwait Luxemburg Malaysia Nepal Netherlands New Zealand Norway Poland Samoa Singapore Slovakia South Africa Sweden Switzerland Thailand Trinidad Uganda United Arab Emirates United Kingdom and Vietnam; to transparently discuss the strengths weaknesses opportunities and threats encompassing each of these 43 countries' cybersecurity public policies. The primary vision for this title is to create an educational resource that benefits both the public and the private sectors. Without clarity on cybersecurity public policy there remains a gap in understanding how to meet these needs worldwide. Furthermore while more than 43 countries have already enacted cybersecurity public policy many countries neglect translating their policy into English; this impacts the ability of all countries to communicate clearly and collaborate harmoniously on this subject matter. This book works to fill the “gap” stop the spread of misinformation and become the gateway to understanding what approaches can best serve the needs of both public and private sectors. Its goals include educating the public and in partnership with governments parliaments ministries and cybersecurity public policy analysts helping mitigate vulnerabilities currently woven into public and private sector information systems software hardware and web interface applications relied upon for daily business activities. | Cybersecurity Public Policy SWOT Analysis Conducted on 43 Countries

Handbook on Federated Learning Advances Applications and Opportunities

Handbook on Federated Learning Advances Applications and Opportunities

Mobile wearable and self-driving telephones are just a few examples of modern distributed networks that generate enormous amount of information every day. Due to the growing computing capacity of these devices as well as concerns over the transfer of private information it has become important to process the part of the data locally by moving the learning methods and computing to the border of devices. Federated learning has developed as a model of education in these situations. Federated learning (FL) is an expert form of decentralized machine learning (ML). It is essential in areas like privacy large-scale machine education and distribution. It is also based on the current stage of ICT and new hardware technology and is the next generation of artificial intelligence (AI). In FL central ML model is built with all the data available in a centralised environment in the traditional machine learning. It works without problems when the predictions can be served by a central server. Users require fast responses in mobile computing but the model processing happens at the sight of the server thus taking too long. The model can be placed in the end-user device but continuous learning is a challenge to overcome as models are programmed in a complete dataset and the end-user device lacks access to the entire data package. Another challenge with traditional machine learning is that user data is aggregated at a central location where it violates local privacy policies laws and make the data more vulnerable to data violation. This book provides a comprehensive approach in federated learning for various aspects. | Handbook on Federated Learning Advances Applications and Opportunities
