I'd like to thank Dr. Jacob Miller, long-time colleague at Pennsylvania College of Technology, who had the foresight to create an Information Assurance degree in 2003. His early effort exposed me to a field I genuinely love. In addition, I'd like to thank Anita Wood for her continued wisdom, advice, and ability to solve problems. Finally, I'd like to acknowledge the entire Packt editing team, who have helped me to become a better author, along with Product Manager Rahul Nair, with whom I have enjoyed collaborating over the years.
