Mr. Bruce Braes for being a sounding board for security risk management, business continuity, and his considerable research into organizational resilience.
Pam Chester, our acquisition editor, who acknowledged the value of our idea in writing this book, and her very supportive staff.
To the (too few) academics striving to elevate this unique area of security into a true discipline.
Finally, to the progressive security practitioners who strive to improve their industry for those following behind.
Dr. Clifton Smith is currently an honorary professor at the Electron Science Research Institute at Edith Cowan University (ECU), and a visiting professor at the Imaging Group at Nottingham Trent University (NTU). He initiated the establishment of the Australian Institute of Security and Applied Technology at ECU in 1987, and he developed research profiles in security imaging, biometric imaging, ballistics identification, infrared sensing, and security education. Over the duration of a decade, Clifton developed the first bachelor of science (security) program in Australia, a BSc (security) honors degree, a masters of science (security science) research degree, and a doctor of philosophy (security science) research degree. In 2004, Professor Smith established the Security Systems Research and Test Laboratory at ECU for the design and testing of security technology. The security systems evaluated and tested included intelligent CCTV and access control through biometric systems. In 2005, Professor Smith developed the masters of security management coursework degree, which is now delivered online to all continents. Dr. Smith retired from ECU in 2006, and continues to supervise PhD students at ECU and NTU in security-related topics.
Dave has a 33-year security career having served in the U.K. Royal Air Force, held positions in the Australian Department of Defence, as an academic at Edith Cowan University (ECU), with private security consultancies, and currently for WorleyParsons as a project manager of security. During his career, Dave has worked in all parts of the security industry gaining insight that such experience provides.
Dave maintains a role as a research leader within the Security Research Institute at ECU, specializing in security knowledge, security risk management, technology evaluation, and security decay. He is the academic chair and editor of ECUs annual Security and Intelligence Conference and is on the editorial committee of the Security Journal. Dave has a PhD in security risk management, a masters by research on psychometric risk, and a bachelor of science (security).

It is possible that on a list of all the topics of central importance to our well-being and yet have been subjected to a low amount of scholarly research, security would appear near the top. Indeed, there have been few good attempts to develop the science of security, not because there are not good scientists interested in security, but it is more that by and large they have written different types of books. This is why this text is important. It is written by two leading researchers, indeed household names in security research, who are able to speak the language of both science and security.
