This open access book provides researchers and professionals with a foundational understanding of online privacy as well as insight into the socio-technical privacy issues that are most pertinent to modern information systems, covering several modern topics (e.g., privacy in social media, IoT) and underexplored areas (e.g., privacy accessibility, privacy for vulnerable populations, cross-cultural privacy). The book is structured in four parts, which follow after an introduction to privacy on both a technical and social level: Privacy Theory and Methods covers a range of theoretical lenses through which one can view the concept of privacy. The chapters in this part relate to modern privacy phenomena, thus emphasizing its relevance to our digital, networked lives. Next, Domains covers a number of areas in which privacy concerns and implications are particularly salient, including among others social media, healthcare, smart cities, wearable IT, and trackers. The Audiences section then highlights audiences that have traditionally been ignored when creating privacy-preserving experiences: people from other (non-Western) cultures, people with accessibility needs, adolescents, and people who are underrepresented in terms of their race, class, gender or sexual identity, religion or some combination. Finally, the chapters in Moving Forward outline approaches to privacy that move beyond one-size-fits-all solutions, explore ethical considerations, and describe the regulatory landscape that governs privacy through laws and policies. Perhaps even more so than the other chapters in this book, these chapters are forward-looking by using current personalized, ethical and legal approaches as a starting point for re-conceptualizations of privacy to serve the modern technological landscape. The book's primary goal is to inform IT students, researchers, and professionals about both the fundamentals of online privacy and the issues that are most pertinent to modern information systems. Lecturers or teachers can assign (parts of) the book for a “professional issues” course. IT professionals may select chapters covering domains and audiences relevant to their field of work, as well as the Moving Forward chapters that cover ethical and legal aspects. Academics who are interested in studying privacy or privacy-related topics will find a broad introduction in both technical and social aspects.

"This book presents contributions that anticipate, assess risk and mitigate privacy and security threats as we deal with challenges in this post-COVID-19 world of working from home (home working), learning online (home schooling), shopping online, all acceptable practices but reminds us to revisit online security"--

More individuals than ever are utilizing internet technologies to work from home, teach and learn, shop, interact with peers, review medical records, and more. While it is certainly convenient to conduct such tasks via the internet, this increased internet presence has also led to a rise in the search and availability of personal information, which in turn is resulting in more cyber-attacks, privacy breaches, and information leaks. Cyber criminals are using such opportunities to attack governments, organizations, and individuals, making it necessary to anticipate, assess, and mitigate privacy and security threats during this infodemic. The Handbook of Research on Technical, Privacy, and Security Challenges in a Modern World discusses the design and development of different machine learning systems, including next generation applications, in order to mitigate cyber-attacks and address security challenges in everyday technologies. It further explores select methods and algorithms of learning for implementing better security methods in fields such as business and healthcare. It recognizes the future of privacy and the importance of preserving data through recommended practice, feedback loops, and smart agents. Covering topics such as face mask detection, gesture recognition, and botnet attacks and detection, this major reference work is a dynamic resource for medical professionals, healthcare administrators, government officials, business executives and managers, IT managers, students and faculty of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

Understanding and realizing the security and privacy challenges for information systems is a very critical and demanding task for both software engineers and developers to design and implement reliable and trustworthy information systems. This book provides novel contributions and research efforts related to security and privacy by shedding light on the legal, ethical, and technical aspects of security and privacy. This book consists of 12 chapters divided in three groups. The first contains works that discuss the ethical and legal aspects of security and privacy, the second contains works that focus more on the technical aspects of security and privacy, and the third contains works that show the applicability of various solutions in the aforementioned fields. This book is perfect for both experienced readers and young researchers that wish to read about the various aspects of security and privacy.

"This book offers a review of recent developments of computer security, focusing on the relevance and implications of global privacy, law, and politics for society, individuals, and corporations.It compiles timely content on such topics as reverse engineering of software, understanding emerging computer exploits, emerging lawsuits and cases, global and societal implications, and protection from attacks on privacy"--Provided by publisher.

Information Assurance and Security Ethics in Complex Systems: Interdisciplinary Perspectives offers insight into social and ethical challenges presented by modern technology. Aimed at students and practitioners in the rapidly growing field of information assurance and security, this book address issues of privacy, access, safety, liability and reliability in a manner that asks readers to think about how the social context is shaping technology and how technology is shaping social context and, in so doing, to rethink conceptual boundaries.

Cybersecurity threats have become ubiquitous and continue to topple every facet of the digital realm as they are a problem for anyone with a gadget or hardware device. However, there are some actions and safeguards that can assist in avoiding these threats and challenges; further study must be done to ensure businesses and users are aware of the current best practices. Cybersecurity Issues, Challenges, and Solutions in the Business World considers cybersecurity innovation alongside the methods and strategies for its joining with the business industry and discusses pertinent application zones such as smart city, e-social insurance, shrewd travel, and more. Covering key topics such as blockchain, data mining, privacy, security issues, and social media, this reference work is ideal for security analysts, forensics experts, business owners, computer scientists, policymakers, industry professionals, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.
