Id like to dedicate this book to the cybersecurity professionals who tirelessly, and sometimes thanklessly, protect our information and systems from all who would do them harm. I also dedicate this book to the people who serve in uniform as military personnel, public safety professionals, police, firefighters, and medical professionals, sacrificing sometimes all that they are and have so that we may all live in peace, security, and safety.
