Faith and Freedom in Galatia and Senegal reads Galatians 2:11-15 and 3:26-29 through the lens of the 19th-20th century experiences of French colonialism by the Diola people in Senegal, West Africa, and portrays the Apostle Paul as a "'sociopostcolonial hermeneut who acted on his self-understanding as God's messenger to create, through faith in the cross of Christ, free communities' -- a self-definition that is critical of ancient Graeco-Roman and modern colonial lore that justify colonization as a divine mandate." Aliou C. Niang ingeniously compares the colonial objectification of his own people by French colonists to the Graeco-Roman colonial objectifications of the ancient Celts/Gauls/Galatians, and Paul's role in bringing about a different portrayal.

ACTIVELY MONITOR, DISSUADE, AND DEFEAT THE CYBER-THREAT IN YOUR IT ENVIRONMENTS. This book is the definitive guide to building your in-house Cyber Threat Hunt capability.This is a book for advanced cybersecurity personnel and does demand additional resources to support its implementation. In this SECOND EDITION, the author adds several key improvements. He adds a chapter on Mission Planning. How to create a tactical planning process from your Incident Response team, to your Cybersecurity Threat Intelligence (CTI) analysts to your Hunt team. He also introduces readers to the growing interest and capabilities of Cyber-Deception as a next step in cyber-defense.This book is designed to implement the most extensive Cybersecurity-Threat Hunt Process (THP) for companies and agencies seeking to proactively determine whether intrusions into their Information Technology (IT) environments are real and malicious. C-THP is the active ability for businesses or organizations to investigate, mitigate, and stop the "bad guys" in their tracks. How do you select, collect, align, and integrate data and information for tracking daily operations and overall organizational security? How can you ensure that plans include every C-THP task and that all possibilities are considered and responded to by the Incident Response Team? How can you save time investigating and responding to strategic and tactical threats with limited resources? This book is designed to help you create an effective and repeatable THP.From the best-selling International Cybersecurity author and lecturer, Mr. Mark A.

Written by the former Chief Information Security Officer for the Department of Education (CISO) responsible for closing over 95% of ED's security findings by the Congress.This book is for the cybersecurity specialist or professional needing to understand and implement the 110 NIST SP 800-171 security controls. It is not just about the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) because your institution is receiving federal funds. It's about protecting the nation's Intellectual Property (IP)...and you are the first line of defense.This book is written as a step-by-step approach to the 110 security controls. Not all controls need to address immediately, but must be documented, monitored, and managed during the life of the system and data housed within university data centers. Additionally, included are the additional "sub-controls" that were released in June 2018. While this has added to the number of total controls, if the cybersecurity professional or specialist has completely implemented the base control, many of these added controls can be easily answered and addressed to government contract oversight officials.There is still much more work that needs to be done in the area of cybersecurity. We are constantly reminded of ongoing intrusions to both public and private sector websites. What we do here, unlike so many books and articles, is that we describe the "how" to do and fix the specific control. While the challenges are many and ever-changing, the objective of this book is to provide you an initial start-point with many directions to good and complete resources to protect not just CUI data, but the overall IP of your college, university, or research facility.The author is the former CISO at the Department of Education where 2016 he led the effort to close over 95% of the outstanding US Congressional and Inspector General cybersecurity shortfall weaknesses spanning as far back as five years.Mr. Russo is the former Senior Cybersecurity Engineer supporting the Joint Medical Logistics Development Functional Center of the Defense Health Agency (DHA) at Fort Detrick, MD.

A GUIDE FOR 2020 SUPPLY CHAIN RISK MANAGEMENT (SCRM) APPLICATION IN THE REAL WORLD..In this 2021 re-release of the SCRM 2.0, there has been added clarification of control implementation. NIST SP 800-161 controls are critical to a successful Supply Chain Risk Management process, vital to ensuring that hardware, software, and services are equally vetted to ensure that supply chain elements are free from defect, counterfeit, or fraud. This update is designed to provide greater clarity needed to ensure an active defensive posture by public and private sector organizations.Welcome to the next iteration of SCRM. Based on a detailed explanation of current threats and application of NIST SP 800-161. From the internationally acclaimed cybersecurity thought-leader, Mr. Russo provides two distinct NIST 800-161, "Supply Chain Risk Management Practices for Federal Information Systems and Organizations," approaches to resolve the modern day challenge of SCRM. The solutions, while similar, provide a 21st Century resolution to better approach in a systematic way to prevent compromises to the US and global IT supply chain.The use of varied supply chain attacks by cyber attackers to access, for example, software development infrastructures have been major vectors of concerns for governments as well as the private sector. These attacks typically include targeting publicly connected software "build, test, update servers," and other portions of a software development environment. Nation-state agents can then inject malware into software updates and subsequent releases have far-ranging impacts to the IT supply chain; the challenge continues to grow.SCRM 1.0 is a concept for establishing an effective and repeatable process that can be applied against standard supply chain components such as hardware, firmware, software, etc. The author introduces SCRM 2.0, much like SCRM 1.0 (Product-based approach), the need is to turn to a much more precarious aspect of SCRM. We must consider the service piece of SCRM that includes the people, companies, and organizations along the supply chain that may also be compromised within the global marketing of IT equipment and capabilities. This is the next most significant issue facing the field of cybersecurity protection in the 21st Century. This updated version updates content for the reader and adds more clarity on the topic of SCRM in 2020.

The Green Tree Campers of America youth organization leads camping expeditions to educate their young--mostly city-raised members--in outdoor skills, and PSL Ranch in Central Texas is one of their favorite locations. Although this ranchland is beautiful and full of interesting wildlife, it can also be quite dangerous for the unprepared. Due to "a few" lethal incidents involving campers named Sally, PSL ranch hands created this informational safety guide to avert injury, maiming, or death for those camping in this remote Texas ranchland. "Why Sally? What did Sally ever do to you?" these questions are often asked of ranch hands by visitors or during interrogations by law enforcement officers following an incident. The simple answer is, "Why not Sally?"What Killed Sally is a hilarious, politically incorrect, and somewhat twisted collection of ways Sally meets her maker while camping on a remote Central Texas ranch. Fully illustrated, What Killed Sally provides information on each incident while including interesting and sometimes useless facts on the local wildlife, fauna, and inhabitants. There's even a bonus section with some scrumptious recipes that keep GTCA campers well-fed. Based on actual locations and the ranchers that manage the land, What Killed Sally provides all the information you'll need to survive the Central Texas outdoors should you decide to hike or camp in this desolate wilderness. Had Sally read this safety guide, it may have saved her life.
**This is the 2021 UPDATE...we have clarified even more about ongoing CMMC development and have added a hard copy version, if needed**Changes include: 1) The latest FAQs and expectations for 2020 and beyond CMMC implementation efforts, 2) alignment of security controls with the most recent CMMC version 1.0 release, and 3) addition of sample control write-ups for inclusion in company Systems Security Plans and Cybersecurity policies. This manual is created to help the small and big business owner in meeting the newest in cybersecurity contracting requirements to conduct business with the Department of Defense (DOD). The CMMC is a wide-ranging certification process with security controls most aligned with federal National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cybersecurity guidance. The gravest weakness of these security controls is that they tell you what to do, but not how to do them. That is the purpose of this book. It provides the how-to best approach and answer the security control or at least where to proceed for how to fully implement the stated cybersecurity measure. The requirement to protect information and data is not just limited to the financial services, insurance, and health care sectors. It is difficult to identify a federal or industrial sector that escapes some responsibility to protect its electronic data. Indeed, some areas deal with more sensitive information, so it is not a surprise that the DOD recently took steps to have its contractors provide "adequate security" for "Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). CMMC is in its early throes of its roll out. This is a first edition where the author's over 20 years in cybersecurity controls and security engineering is intended to help. Don't expect DOD to be ready for a while. This book will help you and your IT staff start the challenge of CMMC.This manual is created to help the small and big business owner in meeting the newest in cybersecurity contracting requirements to conduct business with the Department of Defense (DOD).
