About the Book

Redis is an innovative data tool that offers more flexibility than other available NoSQL key-value stores like Cassandra or DynamoDB. Because Redis accepts hashes, strings, lists, and other structures as values, you can expand the key-value idea to a wider range of use cases. Redis works with in-memory datasets to provide lightning-fast response times, and makes it easy to persist data to disk on the fly. It’s free, open source, and easy to utilize from most standard programming languages.

Redis in Action introduces Redis and walks you through examples that demonstrate how to use it effectively. You’ll begin by getting Redis set up properly and then exploring the key-value model. Then, you’ll dive into real use cases including simple caching, distributed ad targeting, and more. You’ll learn how to scale Redis from small jobs to massive datasets. Experienced developers will appreciate chapters on clustering and internal scripting to make Redis easier to use.

About the Book

Every day cybersecurity specialist Nancy MacBaron fights in the corporate trenches against criminal hackers intent on stealing her company’s sensitive information. She is well trained, highly skilled and security-certified yet she discovers she and her company are helpless in the face of an unexpected data theft from inside.

Called into her boss’s office early one morning, Nancy MacBaron is given dual assignments: one, to help locate the person who is holding their data for ransom, and two, investigate how their information management process allowed such a huge amount of sensitive information to be stolen. Amidst the rivalry among departments, and the pressure of financial disaster for the company, Nancy begins a journey of discovery that shows her a landscape of data process activity that nobody is coordinating or even really aware exists.

Nancy confers with a number of people, some helpful, some resentful of outsiders, all adding more pieces to the puzzle. Amidst the new ideas, old work habits, and personal conflicts Nancy begins to recognize hidden and ungoverned gaps within the corporation along with following clues to find the criminal before the company’s data is auctioned off to the highest bidder.

Follow Nancy as she gathers different perspectives from developers, data architects, managers, attorneys, cybersecurity specialists, data governance groups, law enforcement, and members of her own family to formulate a method to protect sensitive information that coordinates the expertise of many business groups to eliminate gaps in The Hidden Corporation.
