This collection of excerpts from "Why CISOs Fail, 2nd" by Barak Engel offers a critical examination of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) role and the broader cybersecurity landscape. The text highlights how CISOs often struggle due to a focus on technology over business context, leading to miscommunications, ineffective strategies, and a perception as "fear merchants" rather than strategic partners. Engel argues for a reimagined CISO who understands business objectives, influences sales, and manages risk as an integral part of organizational growth, rather than merely enforcing compliance or technical controls. The book also critiques common industry practices, such as rigid compliance models and ineffective password policies, advocating instead for pragmatic, human-centered security approaches and recognizing that some losses are an inevitable part of doing business. Ultimately, it emphasizes the importance of communication, business acumen, and strategic integration for a CISO's success and overall organizational security.

This comprehensive text examines the ethical implications of artificial intelligence and big data, particularly for data scientists, emphasizing the significant power and responsibility they wield. The book presents seven real-world case studies illustrating data misuse, ranging from research manipulation and user data abuse to facial recognition in conflict zones and the impact of AI on animal welfare. Each case is analyzed through diverse ethical lenses, including Western approaches like consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics, alongside non-Western perspectives such as Buddhist, Muslim, Indigenous, and African ethics, to provide a holistic and globally-informed understanding of responsible AI development and deployment. The material also details various aspects of machine learning, data science, and research methodologies, highlighting issues like algorithmic bias, synthetic media, and mental malware, while advocating for a culture of ethical rigor, transparency, and accountability within the rapidly evolving field.
