Next-Gen Surveillance: A Practical Guide to Modern Security Systems for Home & Business provides a comprehensive, step-by-step guide for anyone looking to secure their property with modern technology. Written by an experienced engineer with hands-on experience designing personal home security systems, this book covers everything from fundamental principles to advanced AI-driven surveillance.

After more than twenty years at IBM — including roles as Regional Technical Leader for Security Technologies and Tivoli Software across Central and Eastern Europe — I have seen many SOC modernization projects. Organizations consistently face the same dilemma: substantial existing investments in SIEM, SOAR, processes, and human expertise versus the urgent need to keep pace with AI-powered threats.Most vendors pushed rip-and-replace cloud solutions. I took a different path.The Brownfield Agentic SOC concept was born from the realization that modernization does not require replacement. It is possible — and often far more effective — to intelligently augment existing infrastructure with multi-level AI agents, dynamic business context, structured investigation, and strong governance, while preserving data sovereignty and human judgment.This book is intentionally practical and conceptual. Certain advanced techniques (self-healing patterns, zero-visible-downtime adaptation, tamper-evident intelligent audit) are subject to pending patent protection and are presented here at architectural level only.I wrote this book for three audiences:CISOs and SOC leaders in regulated industries seeking realistic modernizationSecurity architects responsible for next-generation operationsTeams that prioritize sovereignty, compliance, and human-AI collaborationMy goal is to provide a clear, actionable blueprint that respects real-world constraints while delivering measurable improvement.I hope this book inspires and equips you to build more resilient, intelligent, and sovereign Security Operations Centers.Zsolt L.

Modern cybersecurity is no longer just about firewalls and antivirus. It is about architecture, governance, secure software delivery, cloud resilience, Zero Trust, AI security, and operational discipline.The Master Guide to Cyber Security brings these domains together into one practical enterprise-focused reference designed for modern security professionals, architects, engineers, and technology leaders.Built around real-world frameworks, secure-by-design principles, and current threat realities, this guide provides a structured roadmap for building secure systems in cloud-native and enterprise environments.

Stop clicking. Start engineering. In a world of cloud-native infrastructure and rapidly evolving threats, security shouldn't be a "configuration task" hidden inside a vendor’s UI. It should be first-class software. Detection-as-Code: The Architecture Blueprint is the definitive guide to removing the "Save" button from your security consoles and replacing it with a high-velocity, version-controlled, and AI-augmented defensive pipeline.

Cyber risk in M&A gets treated as a compliance check, a heat-map of red and yellow boxes, or a problem to deal with after close. By then it is too late.Quantitative Cyber Diligence (QCD) replaces qualitative cyber diligence with a five-pillar framework that produces a single dollar-denominated figure the investment committee can argue about — calibrated, defensible, and reproducible. Each pillar maps to a measurable exposure: external attack surface, vendor concentration, data sensitivity, security program maturity, and integration risk. The framework aggregates per-pillar exposures with explicit correlation discount, surfaces tail-driver scenarios that conventional analysis misses, and translates the aggregate figure into deal-architecture recommendations: reps and warranties, escrow, price adjustment, or walk-away.This book documents how QCD engagements actually run. Two worked examples (healthcare-IT and industrial-IT). Practitioner templates. Per-pillar pseudocode. Industry loss benchmarks. The complete framework, calibrated to the post-Change-Healthcare era.

Spring Security 7 from the inside out. Trace requests through the filter chain, build a custom identity provider with Spring Authorization Server, secure reactive WebFlux services, and ship production hardened systems backed by JWT, OAuth2, OIDC, SAML2, WebAuthn, and zero trust microservice patterns. Built around CineTrack on Spring Boot 4 and Java 21. Written for engineers who already ship Spring Boot in production.

The CISO's field guide to hardening ServiceNow, defending its APIs, and meeting NIS2, DORA, and EU AI Act obligations. Written by a former Principal Security Advisor in ServiceNow's Office of the CISO.

You've got forty vendors, a hundred integrations, and a SOC 2 report that tells you exactly nothing about what happens when one of them gets compromised. Your dependency map lives in someone's head. Your exposure estimate is a shrug. Your decision process is whoever talks loudest in the emergency meeting. And when it's over, every lesson learned evaporates before the next incident hits. Someone Else's Breach is the framework that replaces all of it — a quantitative, repeatable system for knowing what you're exposed to, deciding what to do about it, and getting better every time. From proactive resilience design to AI-augmented detection, this is the practitioner's guide to surviving incidents you didn't cause but can't ignore.
