Nancy R. Mead - Cyber Security Engineering: A Practical Approach for Systems and Software Assurance

EPUB is an open, industry-standard format for e-books. However, support for EPUB and its many features varies across reading devices and applications. Use your device or app settings to customize the presentation to your liking. Settings that you can customize often include font, font size, single or double column, landscape or portrait mode, and figures that you can click or tap to enlarge. For additional information about the settings and features on your reading device or app, visit the device manufacturers Web site.

Many titles include programming code or configuration examples. To optimize the presentation of these elements, view the e-book in single-column, landscape mode and adjust the font size to the smallest setting. In addition to presenting code and configurations in the reflowable text format, we have included images of the code that mimic the presentation found in the print book; therefore, where the reflowable format may compromise the presentation of the code listing, you will see a Click here to view code image link.

We are pleased to acknowledge the encouragement and support of many people who were involved in the book development process. Rich Pethia and Bill Wilson, the leaders of the CERT Division at the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), encouraged us to write the book and provided support to make it possible. Our SEI technical editors edited and formatted the entire manuscript and provided many valuable suggestions for improvement, as well as helping with packaging questions. Sandy Shrum and Barbara White helped with the early drafts. Hollen Barmer worked across the Christmas holidays to edit the draft. Matthew Penna was tremendously helpful in editing and formatting the final draft for submission. Pennie Walters, one of our editors, and Sheila Rosenthal, our head librarian, helped with obtaining needed permissions to use previously published materials.

Much of the work is based on material published with other authors. We greatly appreciated the opportunity to collaborate with these authors, and their names are listed in the individual chapters that they contributed to, directly or indirectly. In addition, we would like to acknowledge the contributions of Mark Ardis and Andrew Kornecki to .
