Raising awareness of cybersecurity issues and improving the digital literacy and skills in terms of recognition and management of threats is considered as a high-priority action. Service-Oriented Architecture(SOA) provides several benefits, including greater efficiency and open access to applications, services, and information, but their very openness creates unique and significant security challenges for organizations. SOA principles are widely used because they provide loose-coupling, service automation, extensible architecture and enhanced reuse. This paper addresses the security challenges of SOA considering their business and technical impact and performs a mapping to mitigation measures and tools. The process involves identifying the main security vulnerabilities and researching solutions for cyber attacks prevention. It also proposes business level measures to mitigate cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities in SOAs. Several European projects and open source solutions whose aim is to ensure the security and the privacy of SOA are identified, analyzed and proposed as tools for enhanced security in the second part of the paper.
In order to be able to fully benefit from the enormous amount of openly available data and also from competitive advantages that new forms of learning may provide, do we need to learn to unlearn in order to bypass any biases already acquired? Do we need to free our minds first to enable new learning trajectories? The knowledge-learning-power paradigm is changing and it tends to become the unlearning-the ability to extract relevant knowledge, that supersedes. Societal changes in recent years are challenging the ways knowledge is produced and distributed. Seen as the main resource in present-day society, knowledge has been an increasingly source of power. The learning-power paradigm continue to shift. If the '70s-'80s question was how to learn, through '90s-2000s it moved to how fast and how much we can learn. Now the question becomes how much can we unlearn? If this is the case, we need to develop skills that help us to let go of old rules.
<p>The paper presents the sonic treatment effect on the microbiological indicators of the raw water, namely total germ number, Streptococci number, total coli forms and fecal coli forms. Also, the paper comprises the sonic installation which includes the vertical reactor and the air-jet ultrasound generator. The results allow the development of a new raw water treatment technology that will eliminate the actually two-stage treatment - filtration and chlorination, for the drinking water plants. </p>
The globalized world is characterized by the significant interdependence of states, international organizations, and other actors, as well as institutional forms of cooperation. Accelerated technological development has led to significant changes in the global power structure, resulting in the emergence of new forms of multidimensional cooperation and competition. New organizational forms of international strategic cooperation would therefore have to be adapted to the times in order to respond to all the challenges of the modern world. The emergence of new forms of international strategic cooperation should enable the development of the international legal order and the strengthening of institutional mechanisms for collective action. This paper considers a list of key issues that require prompt collective action based on a resilience perspective and critical infrastructure protection. The paper describes the actions that are currently taking place at the international level of international institutional evolution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
