The Zero-trust Paradigm
Existing measures aimed at securing network perimeters have demonstrated insufficiency in preventing breaches within an organization's infrastructure. This inadequacy stems from the escalating resource capabilities of adversaries and the increasing sophistication of multi-step attack strategies, rendering breaches feasible. Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), also known as perimeter-less security, is a recent paradigm that challenges the conventional notion of network security by considering both internal and external networks as potentially compromised and that threats exist at all times in the network. The notion of ZTA has been introduced as a fine-grained defense approach. It assumes that no entities outside and inside the protected system can be trusted and, therefore, requires articulated and high coverage deployment of security controls. However, ZTA is a complex notion that does not have a single design solution, rather, it consists of numerous interconnected concepts and processes that need to be assessed prior to deciding on a solution.In this monograph, the authors cover the principles and architectural foundations of ZTA following the guidelines by NIST, and provide a detailed analysis of ZTA proposed by research and industry. The monograph also describes an approach for the automatic generation of Zero Trust (ZT) policies based on application communication requirements, network topology, and organizational information. This approach was designed to meet a critical need of ZTA, that is, the generation and implementation of a large number of fine-grained policies. Finally, the monograph discusses several research directions, including the incorporation of threat intelligence into ZT networks and the use of large language models.

Mastering Network Flow Traffic Analysis
DESCRIPTION The book aims to familiarize the readers with network traffic analysis technologies, giving a thorough understanding of the differences between active and passive network traffic analysis, and the advantages and disadvantages of each methodology. It has a special focus on network flow traffic analysis which, due to its scalability, privacy, ease of implementation, and effectiveness, is already playing a key role in the field of network security. Starting from network infrastructures, going through protocol implementations and their configuration on the most widely deployed devices on the market, the book will show you how to take advantage of network traffic flows by storing them on Elastic solutions to OLAP databases, by creating advanced reports, and by showing how to develop monitoring systems.CISOs, CIOs, network engineers, SOC analysts, secure DevOps, and other people eager to learn, will get sensitive skills and the knowledge to improve the security of the networks they are in charge of, that go beyond the traditional packet filtering approach.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN● Implement flow analysis across diverse network topologies, and identify blind spots.● Enable flow export from virtualized (VMware, Proxmox) and server environments.● Ingest and structure raw flow data within Elasticsearch and Clickhouse platforms.● Analyze flow data using queries for patterns, anomalies, and threat detection.● Understand and leverage the network flow matrix for security, capacity insights.WHO THIS BOOK IS FORThis book is for network engineers, security analysts (SOC analysts, incident responders), network administrators, and secure DevOps professionals seeking to enhance their network security skills beyond traditional methods. A foundational understanding of network topologies, the OSI and TCP/IP models, basic network data capture concepts, and familiarity with Linux environments is recommended.

Responsive Design
Welcome to the book "Responsive Design". In this book, I'll introduce you to all the CSS functions you need to create a responsive design. By responsive design, I mean that the website adapts its styles to the display device. So your application changes its layout, alignment, font size, images and even applies different styles for different screen sizes. For example, on wide screens such as TVs, it will display horizontally, while on mobile devices it will switch to a vertical layout. The functions of Responsive CSS include modern layouts such as Flex. This includes media queries, responsive typography and responsive images. It is not possible to list every single detail of all the features in a book, because then the book would be so extensive and you would get bored reading it. There is a wealth of information everywhere. So I'll keep it simple and tell you what you need for your project and try to get you on the right track. Let's go
Security Analysis and Formal Verification on Blockchain and its Applications
At its core, blockchain is a distributed database that maintains a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are securely linked using cryptographic techniques. Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data, making it virtually tamper-proof and resistant to modification. This structure ensures that once a block is added to the chain, the information it contains is immutable and can be trusted by all participants in the network. Blockchains have become an integrated part of our financial infrastructures. Being monetary yet fully automated, blockchain and its applications are unanimously deemed impracticable before undergoing necessary verification.This monograph reviews the previous attempts at verifying two fundamental properties of blockchains: correctness and security. First, it summarizes and categorizes the correctness and security flaws encountered by real-world blockchains. Second, it systematizes the development of formal verification to address the flaws in blockchains, covering the aspects of models, specifications, and techniques. Third, it unveils the progress of security analysis for mitigating the flaws, unveiling the analysis principles being followed, the flaw oracles being devised, and the detection methods being used. Finally, the monograph summarizes the remaining challenges and visions of the trend in the near future.Throughout this monograph, future blockchain verification advances are identified, especially in expanding its applicability, making specification generation easier, and discovering previously unknown vulnerabilities. By identifying gaps such as missing tools for infrastructure-level components and the difficulty of writing formal specifications, this monograph aims to motivate the development of more automated, intelligent, and practical verification frameworks.

Cybersecurity in IoT Networks
Cyber security is essential in the IoT because one threat or hack could disrupt the network - or worse, give a cyber criminal complete access to the entire system. In industries such as defense or military operations, the IoT houses extremely sensitive information. If the IoT is accessed via a weak network point or vulnerable device, hackers then have the ability to retrieve intelligence or cause physical damage to the entire network. While businesses, government and health care sectors have increasingly reaped the benefits of the IoT, this shift to interconnectedness also has raised the stakes in terms of risk and the potential financial and security damage that can occur from a hack. The more devices that are added to a network, the greater number of opportunities cyber criminals are granted for "entrances" to the data. This book has four chapters, including: Chapter I, Security and the Internet of Things;Chapter II, Future Industry Internet of Things with Zero-trust Security;Chapter III, Benefits of IoT for Business;Chapter IV, Internet of Things (IoT) Security Challenges in 2025 and References.
