隨著雲端運算、萬物聯網與5G的快速發展，未來IT、OT、CT結合AI分析機制，應用在各種場域（製造、金融、醫療、零售、交通、能源等）的資通安全產品暨服務，為資通安全產業開創出值得期待的未來與龐大商機。但網路的無所不在同樣也讓資通安全風險急速擴大，亦成為萬物聯網與各種智慧應用普及發展的主要障礙。 智慧城市（Smart City）是近年來各國積極布局未來的發展重點及方向，從物聯網（Internet of Things, IoT）蓬勃發展後，智慧城市下各項垂直領域的智慧化服務逐漸受到關注，如：智慧製造、智慧交通、智慧零售、智慧安控、智慧家庭、智慧能源等。智慧物聯網（Artificial Intelligence & Internet of Things, AIoT）讓智慧化服務進化成實至名歸的智慧應用，然而智慧化服務的營運必然伴隨資訊安全的議題。 資通安全的產品暨服務受到不同國家與區域在資安市場、法規、軍事科技，以及資訊科技產業影響，因此各國的產業發展程度各不相同，美國的政府與企業對於資通安全議題相對重視，也促成美國資安產業的蓬勃發展，全球知名的雲端資安大廠多數集中在美國，包含Microsoft、Amazon Web Services、IBM Security、Palo Alto Networks、Splunk等業者。2020年由於受到疫情的影響，美國資安業者也分別推出各自的資安因應解決方案，以協助業者在疫情期間能夠在足夠的資安防護之下維持營運。 5G通訊技術方面，臺灣資通訊產業以硬體製造並行銷全世界市場而聞名於世，因此在發展5G的過程中，產業鏈中的基地台設備、局端設備，以及網路設備至關重要，其次包括晶片廠商，電信營運商、軟體整合及大數據、用戶端設備及手機等產業之業者，亦在5G產業鏈中扮演不可或缺的角色。然而正當臺灣廠商摩拳擦掌、準備快速搶進市場之際，過去較少被關切的資安問題，已然成為各國政府所關注的重點，所以要在未來的5G市場搶得先機，勢必就得先明瞭主要國家對於5G的相關規範。 企業資安應用方面，近年來智慧科技發展迅速，各行各業透過新興智慧科技及數位服務，解決傳統人力、管理效率等經營上的問題已蔚為趨勢，中小企業更紛紛透過人工智慧（Artificial Intelligence, AI）、物聯網（Internet of Things, IoT）、數位服務平台強化自身競爭優

In this book, Vasilis Politis argues that Plato's Forms are essences, not merely things that have an essence. Politis shows that understanding Plato's theory of Forms as a theory of essence presents a serious challenge to contemporary philosophers who regard essentialism as little more than an optional item on the philosophical menu. This approach, he suggests, also constitutes a sharp critique of those who view Aristotelian essentialism as the only sensible position: Plato's essentialism, Politis demonstrates, is a well-argued, rigorous, and coherent theory, and a viable competitor to that of Aristotle. This book will appeal to students and scholars with an interest in the intersection between philosophy and the history of philosophy.

Many pressing environmental and security threats now facing the international community may be traced to the frontiers. From climate change and cyber-attacks to the associated challenges of space weaponization and orbital debris mitigation, solutions to all of these issues have at their root some form of regulation over the 'global commons'. Yet governance over these spaces is now transitioning away from multilateral treaties to regional and bilateral accords. This book makes an original contribution by comparing and contrasting some of the principal issues facing the frontiers. It analyzes how and why existing governance structures are often failing to adequately meet global collective action problems, with special coverage on cybersecurity and Internet governance. It proposes a new way forward incorporating lessons from successful regimes as well as the interdisciplinary scholarship on polycentric governance, arguing that multi-stakeholder collaboration is imperative in order to avoi

How companies can adapt in an era of continuous disruption: a guide to responding to such acute crises as COVID-19.When COVID-19 hit, businesses had to respond almost instantaneously--shifting employees to remote work, repairing broken supply chains, keeping pace with dramatically fluctuating customer demand.

The authors, all experts on business and technology strategy, show that transformation is not a one-and-done event, but a continuous process of adapting to a volatile and uncertain environment.
