Generative AI Security
Up-to-date reference enabling readers to address the full spectrum of AI security challenges while maintaining model utility Generative AI Security: Defense, Threats, and Vulnerabilities delivers a technical framework for securing generative AI systems, building on established standards while focusing specifically on emerging threats to large language models and other generative AI systems. Moving beyond treating AI security as a dual-use technology, this book provides detailed technical analysis of three critical dimensions: implementing AI-powered security tools, defending against AI-enhanced attacks, and protecting AI systems from compromise through attacks like prompt injection, model poisoning, and data extraction. The book provides concrete technical implementations supported by real-world case studies of actual AI system compromises, examining documented cases like the DeepSeek breaches, Llama vulnerabilities, and Google’s CaMeL security defenses to demonstrate attack methodologies and defense strategies while emphasizing foundational security principles that remain relevant despite technological shifts. Each chapter progresses from theoretical foundations to practical applications. The book also includes an implementation guide and hands-on exercises focusing on specific vulnerabilities in generative AI architectures, security control implementation, and compliance frameworks. Generative AI Security: Defense, Threats, and Vulnerabilities discusses topics including: Machine learning fundamentals, including supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning and feature engineering and selectionIntelligent Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), covering AI-enhanced log analysis, predictive vulnerability assessment, and automated patch generationDeepfakes and synthetic media, covering image and video manipulation, voice cloning, audio deepfakes, and AI’s greater impact on information integritySecurity attacks on generative AI, including jailbreaking, adversarial, backdoor, and data poisoning attacksPrivacy-preserving AI techniques including federated learning and homomorphic encryption Generative AI Security: Defense, Threats, and Vulnerabilities is an essential resource for cybersecurity professionals and architects, engineers, IT professionals, and organization leaders seeking integrated strategies that address the full spectrum of Generative AI security challenges while maintaining model utility.

Das Rechtskonforme und effiziente KI-basierte Zeiterfassungssystem
In diesem Buch werden die Anforderungen an ein KI-gestütztes Zeitwirtschaftssystem am Beispiel einer internationalen Bank in Österreich untersucht. Die zentrale Herausforderung liegt darin, die Effizienzpotenziale durch Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) zu nutzen und gleichzeitig die strengen rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen des Landes zu erfüllen. Die Relevanz des Themas ergibt sich aus der strategischen Bedeutung der Zeitwirtschaft, dem transformativen Potenzial von KI im Personalwesen und dem komplexen regulatorischen Umfeld in Österreich. Mithilfe eines qualitativen Forschungsansatzes und einer Single-Case-Study wurden semi-strukturierte Experteninterviews mit internen Stakeholdern aus den Bereichen HR, KI, Recht, Datenschutz und IT-Sicherheit geführt und durch eine Analyse interner Dokumente ergänzt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die strikte Einhaltung der rechtlichen Vorgaben – insbesondere des österreichischen Arbeitsrechts, der DSGVO-Grundsätze und der Mitbestimmungsrechte des Betriebsrats – eine unverhandelbare Grundlage darstellt. Ebenso entscheidend ist die proaktive Ausrichtung am EU AI Act für Hochrisiko-Systeme im HR-Bereich.

Assembly Language Reimagined
Learning assembly language won’t make you a faster programmer. It won’t enable you to create portable, write-once, run-anywhere programs. So why learn it? The answer is that it will make you a better programmer. Author John Schwartzman takes a fresh look at low-level programming and explores how to write programs using the BIOS and glibc. This laboratory-based book aids the writing of high-level structured programs by showing what the processor can and can’t do and how it does it. You’ll take apart high-level structured C/C++ and show what the CPU is doing at every stage of the program. The book introduces programs and activities throughout the development process, providing sample code, makefiles, and shell scripts for each example program. With the help of Assembly Language Reimagined you’ll become a more capable and versatile computer engineer. What You will Learn Explore a new perspective on the Intel x64 microprocessor for low-level programmingUnderstand what a processor is doing while a high-level structured computer language program is being run Solve problems with the help of software. See why assembly language programming is essential for every serious student of computer science Who This Book Is For Embedded Linux and Assembly developers, engineers and programmers, hobbyists from the Maker community, as well as college and graduate level students who have some prior knowledge of a structured high-level language like C or C++ 1: Using BIOSServices.- 2: Using BIOS Services.- 3: Prefer glibc Over Calls to the BIOS.- 4: Passing Information to a Program on the Command Line.- 5: Using Macros and Passing Arguments on the Stack.- 6: Conditional Compilation and Conditional Builds.- 7: Recursion.- 8: Using Floating Point Registers.- 9: The commaSeperate Utility Program.- 10: The hhmmss Utility Program.- 11: Creating a Shared Library.- 12: Sorting an Array of Integers.- 13: Sorting and Array of Strings.- 14: Finding, Reading and Sorting File and Directory Information.- 15: Creating and Solving a Linked List.- 16: Creating and Sorting a Linked List.- 17: Reading and Sorting File and Directory.- 18: Reading File and Directory Information.- Afterword.- Appendix A.
