A couple of strong trends like digitalization and cyber security issues are facing the daily life of all of us - this is true for our business and private life. Secure your business is more important than ever as cybercrime becomes more and more organized, and not only an individual hack like it was around the turn of the century. As a starting point the first article deals with information management and how to overcome the typical obstacles when introducing a company-wide solution. Based on the product called M-Files a strategical and tactical approach is presented to improve information governance beyond the regulatory requirements. Following with an article about effective policy writing in information security a good practice approach is outlined how mapping a control system to ISO27001 helps for governance and control set optimization purposes. Network segmentation is a complex program for the majority organizations. Based on a look at the treat landscape to mitigate related risks by network segmentation the relevant technologies and approached are presented focusing on the most important part: the conceptual solution to keep the business and security interest in a balance. How can security standards deliver value? Based on a short summary regarding the SANS20 and ISO27001 standards project good practices are demonstrated to tackle the data leakage risk. The following contributions to this book are about network device security, email spoofing risks mitigation by DMARC and how small and medium enterprises should establish a reasonable IT security risk management. The next article is dealing with the topic of holistically manage cybersecurity based on the market drivers and company-specific constraints, while the final article reports about a data center transition approach and how related risks can be effectively managed. The field of cybersecurity is huge and the trends are very dynamic. In this context we belief that the selected articles are providing relevant insights, in particular for the regulated industries. We wish our readers inspiring insights and new impulses by reading this book. Many thanks again to all colleagues and cooperators contributing to this Vineyard book.

<b>How to build winning digital products today?</b> <br> <br>In this book, the authors explore what it takes to build winning digital products today. They focus on the idea that one should stop building software, and build digital services instead, effectively combining Hyperscale and Microcare: the ability to establish an intimate relationship with each and every of your thousands of users. The authors discuss the capabilities and processes you need to build such digital services. They zoom in on the kinds of assets you need to develop, and that will greatly influence the valuation, all supported with practical advice and real world examples. <br> <br> <b>Discover a guide with practical advices and real world examples to build digital services and create relashionship with users.</b> <br> <br>EXTRAIT <br> <br>As any cookbook, this work contains recipes, ingredient descriptions and best practices. To us – both amateur chefs – a flaw of most kitchen guides is the focus on lists and the weak insight they bring about the basic mechanisms. The process behind a tricky recipe like sauce Hollandaise is an emulsion between an oil and an aqueous component: butter and lemon juice are bound by egg yolk, used as an emulsifier. Digital entrepreneurship (cook) books show the same weakness. They distill guide-lines without linking them to the root mechanisms in digital. <br>We base our recipes on these mechanisms. To explain them, we tell the story through the arrival of three digital paradoxes. Paradoxes intrigue, trigger curiosity, and animate a discussion between peers. That’s why they are excellent starting material to reason about a world in change. <br> <br>À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR <br> <br> <b>Peter Verhasselt</b> coaches technology companies in optimizing their Product Management, Business Plan and Go-to-Market strategy.

<p><b>Story of a saga video games...</b><br><br> If the Dark Souls series managed to seduce players and journalists, it was mainly by word of mouth. It was such a great success that Dark Souls 2 was named “Game of the Year” 2014 by the vast majority of gaming magazines and websites. To date, this saga is one of the most important in the gaming industry. The odd thing is that these games are well known for their difficulty and their cryptic universe. This publication narrates the epic success story, but also describes its gameplay mechanics and its specific lore across more than 300 pages. Characters, plots and the scenario of the three Souls (Demon's Souls, Dark Souls and Dark Souls II) are deciphered by Damien Mecheri and Sylvain Romieu, who spent a long year studying these dense and enigmatic games down to the smallest detail.<br><br><b>The serie <i>Dark Souls</i> and her spiritual father <i>Demon's Souls</i> will not have secrets for you anymore!</b><br><br> EXTRACT<br><br> "In May 2014, Hidetaka Miyazaki succeeded Naotoshi Zin as president of FromSoftware, after the studio was purchased by Kadokawa Shoten. This was a highly significant promotion for the person who had led the company’s most successful project, Dark Souls. And yet, he did not lose from view what had attracted him to the field: an insatiable creative drive. In spite of his new status within the studio, one of the conditions he requested and was granted was to remain creative director of his new project: Bloodborne. This allowed him to successfully design this spiritual successor to the first Souls game, while also assuming his new responsibilities. Given his drive to work and create, it is not surprising how quickly Miyazaki moved up through the ranks."<br><br> ABOUT THE AUTHORS<br><br> Passionate about films and video games, <b>Damien Mecheri </b>joined the writers team of Gameplay RPG in 2004, writing several articles for the second special edition on the <i>Final Fantasy</i> saga.

<p><b>We thought we had gone through the topic in the first volume, those two games opened new pists of reflexions.</b><br><br>The in-depth analysis of Hidetaka Miyazaki's Dark Souls saga continues with this volume 2, decoding the Bloodborne and Dark Souls III episodes. <br><br><b>An indinspensale ebook for all the fans of the game <i>Dark Souls</i> !</b><br><br>EXTRACT<br><br>"The project, christened Project Beast, began soon after the Astorias of the Abyss DLC was released in August 2012. At the time, FromSoftware was also beginning to build Dark Souls II, its cash cow. Miyazaki kept his distance from this sequel, which was handed off to Tomohiro Shibuya and Yui Tanimura, with support from the FromSoftware president and creator of King’s Field, Naotoshi Zin, who supervised the game system.<br>On his end, Hidetaka Miyazaki formed a trusted team of regular collaborators, such as lead programmer Jun Itô (who had already filled this role for Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls), composer and lead sound designer Tsukasa Saitô (Armored Core games), and most of his regular artists: Daisuke Satake, Masanori Waragai and Hiroshi Nakamura. The success of Demon’s Souls, and the even greater success of Dark Souls, allowed FromSoftware to grow its ranks significantly. In total, no fewer than fifty programmers participated in the project, along with around twenty game system designers and fifty people working on visual creation (animation, scenery, characters, etc.). Thanks to financial support from Sony, many Japanese, Chinese and Taiwanese studios were sub-contracted during the production to help with graphics and visuals."<br><br>ABOUT THE AUTHORS<br><br>Passionate about films and video games, <b>Damien Mecheri </b>joined the writers team of Gameplay RPG in 2004, writing several articles for the second special edition on the <i>Final Fantasy</i> saga.

<b>Youth work can offer a space for young refugees to express themselves and participate in society.</b> <br> <br>This Youth Knowledge book presents theoretical references and reflections on the experiences of young refugees and the way they reconcile personal hope with the tensions within their host societies. It also explores learning from practices and their theoretical underpinnings concerning the role of youth work in a cross-sectoral approach. This book aims to be a reference for policy makers, practitioners and researchers in the youth field and stakeholders from other sectors working on inclusion, access to rights and the participation of young refugees.All the contributors propose a very critical engagement with the reality of young refugees in today’s Europe, where tolerance levels for negative phenomena, such as human rights violations, hate speech and discrimination, are on the rise. However, there is also an underlying message of hope for those willing to engage in a human rights-based youth work practice that ensures safe spaces for being young, no matter who, no matter where. Practices and reflections deal with democracy, activism, participation, formal and non-formal education and learning, employment, trauma, “waitinghood” and negotiating identities. <br> <b>We hope this book as a whole, and each individual contribution, will inspire youth policy makers and practitioners to take on board the complex realities of unfinished transitions and borderland experiences and create a positive environment for an enriched and transformed youth work for the inclusion of young refugees in their host communities.</b>

<b>Improve the well-being of prisoners in detention, enable them to change their behavior and attitudes, develop their ability to live together, learn to respect others and abide by the rules, and thus facilitate their reintegration into society, these are the objectives of a prison sports policy.</b> <br>There has been growing recognition of the value of sport by the prison system. Its effects are highly beneficial to those in detention and to prison life in general. However, looking at the objectives through to the challenges, we can see that the link between sport and prison is a complex one, and in order to understand it better and to see what lessons can be learned, an in-depth thinking process is required, based on current scientific knowledge in this field and on state policies and practices being implemented in prisons.In the framework of its activities promoting diversity in and through sport, the Enlarged Partial Agreement on Sport (EPAS) of the Council of Europe has been working on the subject of sport and prison since 2013, in close connection with the Council for Penological Co-operation (PC-CP). Following an expert seminar organised in Strasbourg in 2013, a pan-European conference was held in Paris in 2014. The results of a survey which highlighted the numerous examples of good practice regarding sports programmes were discussed. The conference highlighted the need to record the different points of view regarding sport in prison at a pan-European level in order to identify the real challenges. <br> <b>Gaëlle Sempé is a lecturer in sociology, sports science and physical education training (STAPS), and teacher-researcher at Rennes University 2. Mr Vivian Geiran, author of the foreword, is chair of the Council for Penological Co-operation (PC-CP) of the Council of Europe.The Enlarged Partial Agreement on Sport (EPAS) is an agreement between a number of Council of Europe member states (38 as of 1 January 2018) which have decided to co-operate in the field of sports policy. As an “enlarged” agreement, EPAS is open to non-member states. It works in co-operation with relevant organisations, in particular with representatives of the sports movement.</b>
