Focusing on the essential role of data security in organizational integrity, this book serves as a practical guide for data protection officers. It emphasizes the importance of understanding technical knowledge and organizational frameworks necessary for effective data protection. Through numerous examples and notes, it highlights that data security encompasses more than just personal data, safeguarding all types of information vital for the survival of companies and organizations in an increasingly data-driven society.
For years, the field of business intelligence has lacked truly innovative ideas. This study poses a critical question: "If computers can provide the necessary information for human decision-making, why can't they make decisions independently?" Through clear examples, the author illustrates how to advance beyond traditional data warehouse and mining systems. Practical insights demonstrate how to transform data, information, mathematical results, and human intent into executable solutions. Covering a wide range of topics from technical fundamentals and algorithms to philosophical inquiries about responsibility and ethics, this work serves as essential reading for scientists, students, and developers interested in optimized decision-making and solution systems.
