★★ 國內資訊安全經典 ． 暢銷第五版 ★★ 「資訊安全」是一門綜合科學，在學習資訊安全領域上，涵蓋了管理面、策略面、技術面等方向，需要從基礎理論的建立延伸到解決實務應用問題，從數位邊界、管理制度到掌握駭客攻擊手法缺一不可。 主要寫給三種類型的讀者： ◎ 第一種是在大專、技職院校修習資訊安全課程的學生，可以當作教科書或參考書。 ◎ 第二種是從事資訊與資安相關工作的專業人士，透過實務的介紹，對於資訊安全所涵蓋的政策面、管理面以及技術面的問題，能夠有更深入的瞭解。 ◎ 第三種是想要考資訊安全專業證照的讀者，本書提供「Cisco CCST Cybersecurity資訊安全」、「Certiport ITS Network Security網路安全管理核心能力」雙國際認證的模擬試題，可累積資訊安全知識、提升實力，取得國際專業證照。 本書學習架構： 第一篇 資安認知與風險識別 資安威脅來自於系統平台、應用程式的弱點，以及使用者對於資訊安全的認知不足，對於資料的保護、資安事件的處理、惡意程式的發展、社交工程與網路攻擊等事件的威脅，掌握資安風險的來源，以及識別可能帶來的影響與衝擊，都是面對資安的議題時，必須考量的關鍵項目。 第二篇 信任與安全架構 建立使用者的身份認證、授權使用的權限以及建立存取控制的機制，以對應資訊安全架構與設計的原則，從國際標準管理系統到建立安全等級與評估準則，透過密碼學來建立資通訊系統基礎的架構，在網路模型各個不同的階層建立對應的資安防護措施，以提供安全的運作架構。 第三篇 數位邊界與防禦部署 面對強化的駭客與網路攻擊威脅，強化數位邊界與防禦部署的能力，以確保在資安威脅的衝擊下仍能持續運作，熟悉資安設備的角色與能力，將有助於將正確的防禦機制部署在正確的位置，強化多層次的防禦機制，建立網路、系統、端點等防禦的能量，以資安威脅情資建立防禦機制。 第四篇 資安管理與未來挑戰 面對資安的威脅，透過營運管理機制以及資通安全相關的法規，可以建立有效的管理制度，並且參考國際資訊安全組織的發展趨勢，掌握最新的駭侵威脅，對於新型態的攻擊手法，必須涵蓋雲端應用服務、物聯網安全與管理等面向，才能夠面對未來的挑戰。

ONNX(Open Neural Network Exchange，開放神經網絡交換)是一種開放格式，用於存儲深度神經網絡模型。ONNX 由微軟和Facebook 於2017 年共同推出，旨在促進不同深度學習框架之間的模型交換和互操作性。ONNX 定義了一組與環境和平臺無關的標準格式，使得AI 模型可以在不同的框架和環境下交互使用。經過短短幾年的發展，ONNX 已經成為表示深度學習模型的實際標準。它還支持傳統非神經網絡機器學習模型。ONNX 有望成為整個AI 模型交換的標準。全書包括6 章，分別為ONNX 安裝與使用、ONNX 運行時與應用開發技術、ONNX 各種功能與性能分析、ONNX 數據與操作數優化、ONNX 模型性能與應用、ONNX 創新開發案例分析。本書適合從事AI 算法、軟件、硬件開發的工程師閱讀，也可供科研人員、高校師生、技術管理人員參考使用。

「人工智慧 (Artificial Intelligence, AI) 」 一詞，最早可追溯至20世紀中英國數學家艾倫．圖靈發表的論文Computing Machinery and Intelligence。隨著時間推移，硬體與軟體技術的迅速進步讓電腦運算速度大幅提升、成本顯著下降，並且配合演算法領域的卓越研究成果，人工智慧領域不再是遙不可及的夢想。21世紀初，AlphaGo達到可以對決頂尖圍棋高手的程度，到了2022年，OpenAI正式推出ChatGPT，更讓人工智慧真正普及到大眾生活。生成式AI在各行各業專業領域中帶來重大變革，本書能幫助您突破生成式AI的工具性操作，深入了解其背後的技術、應用與影響力。全書共有七個章節，內容涵蓋生成式AI的底層邏輯、實務操作、企業管理策略等三個面向。第一到三章聚焦於生成式AI的底層邏輯，會依序介紹AI先備知識、經典模型以及生成式AI 核心架構：Transformer，即便您沒有資訊背景也能夠讀懂。第四到六章聚焦於生成式AI的實務操作，介紹提示工程(Prompt Engineering)，教您如何讓生成式AI產出高品質的回應，並手把手地帶您使用ChatGPT API 實作兩個小專案：檢索增強生成(RAG)以及網站智能客服。第七章聚焦於生成式AI的企業管理策略，針對企業最迫切關注的議題：如何導入生成式AI，提出淺見與看法。

近年來，人工智能在自然語言處理、商務智能、機器人和醫療診斷等眾多領域取得了突破性進展，其中生成式對抗網絡（generative adversarial network , GAN）開創性地使用對抗訓練機制對兩個神經網絡進行訓練，是近年來複雜分布上無監督學習最具前景的方法之一。 本項目以人工智能為出發點，從模型、算法和應用系統等角度較好地研究了GAN的基礎理論和方法，並結合遷移學習、強化學習和大數據技術設計了GAN的一些可行應用案例，闡述了如何通過GAN來實現人工智能，為廣大讀者在人工智能領域的理論學習和專業實踐提供指南。

《富比世》評選全球最具影響力行銷長亞歷克斯．舒茲淬鍊20年實戰經驗的數位行銷權威版★「如果沒有亞歷克斯的努力，臉書社群就無法將全球二十多億人連結在一起。」――馬克．祖克伯，Meta執行長★「（作者是）數位成長行銷領域名副其實的世界級專家……你不該忽視這本書。」――山姆．奧特曼，OpenAI執行長「點擊」是數位行銷的成功關鍵。只有有效點擊，才能將顧客興趣轉化為行動。然而，在實務上，數位行銷遠比想像中困難：預算難以掌控、成效難以評估，甚至連是否真正帶來獲利都說不清楚。當你無法釐清哪些行銷活動真的有效，他人的成功經驗往往也無法複製。行銷人不需要更多工具，而是一套拆解數位行銷運作邏輯並可直接應用的方法，幫你找出最適合產品或服務的策略。本書正是這樣的指南。作者亞歷克斯．舒茲是Meta行銷長，也是Facebook成長團隊的核心成員，參與打造全球數十億用戶規模的產品，並親歷企業從停滯到高速擴張的關鍵轉折，深刻理解行銷如何驅動規模與營收成長。● 建立核心架構：從轉換、管道、投放到素材選擇。● 提升投資報酬：辨識增幅效果，把預算花在刀口。● 強化成效衡量：建立可信任的數據，正確判讀結果。● 駕馭關鍵管道：拆解四大行銷管道的最佳應用方法。● 應對AI挑戰：工具持續演變，掌握不變的原則才能勝出。當方法正確且能穩定帶來轉換，成長就不再仰賴運氣，而是可以被驗證、被放大的結果。無論你在大型企業或新創團隊，本書都是提升決策品質與行銷成效的必讀之作。★各界盛讚★「很少人比亞歷克斯更理解行銷與成長，這歸功於他在臉書的多年經驗，這家公司無疑是全球在行銷和企業成長上表現最耀眼的組織之一。本書把這些洞見提煉成每個創辦人、行銷人員和執行者所需的實用和可行策略。」――丹尼爾．埃克（Daniel Ek），Spotify執行長「身為數十年來數位行銷界最頂尖的思想家與實踐者，亞歷克斯為任何規模的企業、任何層級的行銷人員提供非常重要的資源，告訴他們如何確保花每一塊錢都能創造更好的報酬。」――賽斯．麥特林斯（Seth Matlins），《富比世》CMO Network總經理「如果數位時代有行銷碩士課程，本書就是唯一的教材。想讓成效翻倍甚至倍增，就照書中的方法去做。」――安德魯．羅伯遜（Andrew Robertson），BBDO Worldwide 董事長「不懂行銷的人該讀，自認懂行銷的人更該讀。這是一本從過去出發、帶

A fantasy graphic novel for independent readers about being yourself (even if you're told you're "too much") and finding joy in the darkest of places.Hupo is on a mission to restore dreams and wonder to his home once again, before the Wallower destroys everything this story is about... Hupo and the Aletha love to amble through the bustling streets of their city, talking to shopkeepers and recounting tales of their favourite adventurer, the Great Humdingo — much to the annoyance of everyone around them. But when mysterious, zombifying mists creep into town and the Aletha is captured by a sinister force in the mountains, Hupo’s on a mission to set everything to rights… But can he hold onto who he is when everything around him seems so terrible? Creator Billy Partridge whisks us into his magical tale with whimsical artwork and a story about imagination, adventure, and having the courage to be yourself – even if you have a big personality.
