In general, there are many individuals I have interacted with throughout my carrier, which are to thank for the position I am in today, and that has helped me accomplish my dreams and goals. A warm thanks to all of them.

For this book, in particular, I want to thank my wife and two daughters for their continued and ongoing support, understanding, and motivation I have relied on for the writing of this book.

For better or for worse, cybersecurity is going to be a facet of doing business for the foreseeable future. Too often, companies still neglect to see the benefit or the return of investment (ROI) of implementing cybersecurity practices in their day to day activities.
