    Sammanfattning : This dissertation studies the social aspects of technology in distance education trough the lens of history – in the form of correspondence education – and a possible future – in the form of a project of technical standardization, Learning Objects. The studied cases form a reflexive tool that allows the present of distance education to be seen in perspective. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Cybersecurity Incident Response : A Socio-Technical Approach

    Författare :Bilal Al Sabbagh; Stewart Kowalski; Louise Yngström; Mathias Ekstedt; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; cybersecurity incident response; SIEM; cybersecurity warning systems; socio-technical approach; organisation security culture; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis examines the cybersecurity incident response problem using a socio-technical approach. The motivation of this work is the need to bridge the knowledge and practise gap that exists because of the increasing complexity of cybersecurity threats and our limited capability of applying cybersecurity controls necessary to adequately respond to these threats.

    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Software Architecture Transitions; Grounded Theory; Software Architecture; Microservices; Mining Software Repositories; Socio-technical systems;

    Sammanfattning : Background: As software systems grow, software organizations turn towards Microservices-based Software Architectures (MSAs) seeking modularity, service orientation, and cloud-based software delivery. Microservices are a way of structuring software systems into loosely coupled pieces that: 1) are developed and operated independently, 2) communicate and integrate with each other to compose a system, and 3) each piece has its individual business domain and resources.
