Security Chaos Engineering : Developing Resilience and Safety at Speed and Scale
Information security is broken. Year after year, attackers remain unchallenged and undeterred, while engineering teams feel mounting pressure to design, build, and operate "secure" systems.Attacks can't be prevented, mental models of systems are incomplete, and our digital world constantly evolves.How can we verify that our systems behave the way we expect?What can we do to improve our systems' resilience?In this pragmatic and comprehensive guide, authors Kelly Shortridge and Aaron Rinehart help you navigate the challenges of securing complex software systems.Using the principles and practices of security chaos engineering, they explore how you can cultivate resilience across the software delivery lifecycle.Attackers and systems will change, but by preparing for adverse events you can ensure it does not disrupt your ability to innovate, move quickly, and achieve your engineering and business goals. You will:Learn how to design a modern security program aligned to business and engineering goalsMake informed decisions at each phase of software delivery to nurture resilience to attackUnderstand the complex systems dynamics upon which security outcomes dependNavigate technical and organizational trade-offs that distort defensive decision makingExplore chaos experimentation as a tool for verifying critical assumptions about systems security and the ROI of security investmentsPeek behind the scenes of major enterprises that leverage security chaos engineering and learn from their practices

Innovation in Energy Security and Long-Term Energy Efficiency
The sustainable development of our planet depends on the use of energy. The growing population of the world inevitably causes an increase in the demand for energy, which, on the one hand, threatens the potential for shortages of energy supply, and, on the other hand, causes the deterioration of the environment.Therefore, our task is to reduce this demand through different innovative solutions (i.e., both technological and social). Social marketing and economic policies can also play a role in affecting the behavior of households and companies, by causing behavioral change oriented to energy stewardship, and an overall switch to renewable energy resources. This book provides a platform for the exchange of a wide range of ideas, which, ultimately, would facilitate the driving of societies to long-term energy efficiency.

Approaches to Spread, Scale-Up, and Sustainability
Few interventions that succeed in improving healthcare locally end up becoming spread and sustained more widely.This indicates that we need to think differently about spreading improvements in practice.Drawing on a focused review of academic and grey literature, the authors outline how spread, scale-up, and sustainability have been defined and operationalised, highlighting areas of ambiguity and contention.Following an overview of relevant frameworks and models, they focus on three specific approaches and unpack their theoretical assumptions and practical implications: the Dynamic Sustainability Framework, the 3S (structure, strategy, supports) infrastructure approach for scale-up, and the NASSS (non-adoption, abandonment, and challenges to scale-up, spread, and sustainability) framework.Key points are illustrated through empirical case narratives and the Element concludes with actionable learning for those engaged in improvement activities and for researchers.This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

How does determining the scale factor and scale work?
Determining the scale factor involves comparing the measurements of corresponding sides of two similar figures. The scale factor is the ratio of the lengths of the sides of the two figures. To find the scale factor, you can divide the length of a side of the larger figure by the length of the corresponding side of the smaller figure. The scale is the ratio of the dimensions of the actual object to the dimensions of the model or drawing. It is used to accurately represent the size of an object in a smaller or larger form.

How does one determine the scale factor and scale?
To determine the scale factor, one must compare the measurements of corresponding sides of two similar figures. The scale factor is calculated by dividing the length of a side in the larger figure by the length of the corresponding side in the smaller figure. The scale is then determined by using the scale factor to create a ratio between the measurements of the figures. This ratio can be used to accurately resize or recreate the figures at a different scale.

What is the difference between interval scale and ratio scale?
The main difference between interval scale and ratio scale is the presence of a true zero point. Ratio scale has a true zero point, meaning that a value of zero indicates the absence of the quantity being measured. Interval scale, on the other hand, does not have a true zero point, and a value of zero does not necessarily indicate the absence of the quantity being measured. Additionally, ratio scale allows for meaningful ratios to be calculated, while interval scale does not.

Can a regular scale be used as a kitchen scale?
Yes, a regular scale can be used as a kitchen scale as long as it has the capacity to measure in smaller increments typically used in cooking, such as grams or ounces. However, kitchen scales are specifically designed for food measurements and often come with features like tare function, which allows you to zero out the weight of the container. So while a regular scale can be used in a pinch, a kitchen scale may be more convenient and accurate for cooking and baking purposes.

What does the bathroom scale or the kitchen scale show?
The bathroom scale shows a person's weight, typically in pounds or kilograms. It is used to measure and track changes in weight over time. On the other hand, the kitchen scale shows the weight of food or ingredients, often in grams or ounces. It is used to measure precise amounts of ingredients for cooking and baking. Both scales are important tools for monitoring and managing weight and portion sizes.

What is the major difference between N scale and Z scale?
The major difference between N scale and Z scale model trains is their size. N scale trains are larger than Z scale trains, with N scale trains typically being 1:160 scale and Z scale trains being 1:220 scale. This means that Z scale trains are smaller and more compact, allowing for more intricate layouts in a smaller space. Additionally, N scale trains are more popular and have a wider variety of available models and accessories compared to Z scale.

Do a gold scale and a kitchen scale weigh the same?
No, a gold scale and a kitchen scale do not weigh the same. A gold scale is typically more precise and accurate in measuring very small weights, such as those of precious metals like gold. On the other hand, a kitchen scale is designed for measuring larger quantities of ingredients for cooking and baking. The two scales are calibrated differently to suit their specific purposes.
