This book will highlight laws in place to protect personal information and integrates business-driven risk assessments to minimise geopolitical risks such as cyber threats. This book will share a strategic framework that could be used by various stakeholders involved in the implementation of cybersecurity measures to safeguard sensitive data and leverages a data centric focus on the evolution of cyber-attacks. This book will explain the concept of countering identity takeover through the use of a concrete example.

"Tara is also a visual artist whose work explores serenity, emotional depth, and healing through a thoughtful blend of subject and medium. Her art focuses on architecture, landscapes, and portraits, presented with a subtle three-dimensional perspective that draws viewers into quiet reflection. Using acrylic paint, pencil, charcoal, and pastels, she constructs scenes that balance structure and softness, capturing both physical environments and inner states of mind. Guided by an altruistic vision, Tara approaches each composition with the intent to offer peace and clarity, creating a visual experience that feels meditative and restorative. Her use of layered techniques and controlled detail invites emotional connection while maintaining a calm and balanced aesthetic. Through gentle contrasts and thoughtful design, her work transforms everyday subjects into expressions of empathy and calm. Tara’s practice reflects a belief in art as a personal and shared space where beauty, intention, and healing coexist", Authored by TeraVarna.
