June 14 Pluralsight Course Swap
On June 14, 2023, ACM will be conducting a Pluralsight "Course Swap," removing a number of courses based on their low utilization, and adding other courses based on member feedback/demand and to ensure the currency and completeness of Pluralsight learning paths. The courses marked for removal and addition are listed at learning.acm.org/e-learning/pluralsight. Be sure to finish your training with any courses in the left column by June 13, 2023.
Learning Resource: Use Security Monitoring Tools
In this Challenge Lab, you will collect failed sign in attempts on domain computers. First, you will create a sign in failure, and then you will review the event in the event log. Next, you will configure a server as a collector for events, and then you will configure two source computers that will send the events to the collector. Finally, you will review the events on the collector.

Discover the Latest "Selects," Shortlists of Learning Resources Curated by Experts
ACM Selects are themed shortlists curated by subject matter experts for both serious and emerging computing professionals, with the goal of providing new ways to discover relevant resources. The latest Selects covers "Getting Started With Internet Of Things: Computing And Communication", which offers a set of articles describing and motivating the IoT, and deep dives into the major aspects of IoT such as communication protocols, edge-to-cloud continuum, AI and data analytics, and security/privacy. You can find part two of this Selects here. Please visit our archive of Selects on a variety of subjects which is available here.
ACM Case Studies
Written by leading domain experts for software engineers, ACM Case Studies provide an in-depth look at how software teams overcome specific challenges by implementing new technologies, adopting new practices, or a combination of both. Often through first-hand accounts, these pieces explore what the challenges were, the tools and techniques that were used to combat them, and the solution that was achieved.
ACM Distinguished Speakers Program
The Distinguished Speakers Program (DSP) is one of ACM's most valued outreach programs, providing universities, corporations, event and conference planners, and local ACM chapters with direct access to top technology leaders and innovators from nearly every sector of the computing industry. ACM will cover the cost of transportation for the speaker to travel to your event.
