    A Comprehensive Guide to Debugging, Testing, and Securing Embedded Systems with JTAG Protocol
    Aliaksandr Kavalchuk

    WARNING: The main goal of this book is to test Leanpub functionality, and all the information in this book can be found in my articles for the Interrupt by Memfault and PlatformIO blogs.So, there is no need to buy this book—you should only do so if you prefer reading information in book format or if you just want to buy me a coffee. :) This book is a collection of my articles originally published in the blogs Interrupt by Memfault and PlatformIO with some additional edits and enhancements.   A unique feature of this book is the extensive use of GIF animations and videos to visually demonstrate key concepts and processes. However, since not all EPUB readers support GIF and video playback, each animation and video is accompanied by a link to an external resource. Readers can follow these links to view the corresponding content and enhance their understanding. Repo with all GIF animation: https://github.com/Zamuhrishka/diving-into-jtag-book-animations

  13. BROWFIELD AGENTIC SOC
    BROWFIELD AGENTIC SOC
    Modernize Without Replacing
    Zsolt L. Kocsis

    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.
