Acknowledgements
The authors of this book would like to thank the following organizations and individuals:
Fortinet and Founders Ken and Michael Xie: For creating the technology we all love, and for being the organization where the majority of us have enjoyed spending that many years of our professional lives (some of us have been at Fortinet for around 10 years, but we wont say who or Mr. McAlpine, Mr. Matsugu and Mr. Basile will feel old;-). Not many companies out there have the vibe, the team and the vision to what Fortinet does,
Michael Xie, Fortinet CTO: for all the support and encouragement we got from him, to work on this project. Yes, we did this in our free time, but knowing Michael had an eye in the project inspired us to do an even better job.
Darren Turnbull, Vice President for Strategic Solutions at Fortinet: For his advice, information and time devoted to review and correct the manuscripts. The book is better due Darrens annotations, comments and critiques.
Samantha Shear Director of Legal for the Americas at Fortinet: For bridging all the potential legal issues, so the authors could engage on the project and have the freedom to write our thoughts, while ensuring we would not get into trouble.
John Whittle, Vice President General Counsel at Fortinet: For the advice, suggestions and support on the legal issues about our employment at Fortinet and our work on this book.
Sanjeev Sinha for his professional insight and technical review of chapter 12.
Ken Tam, Ken McAlpine and Martin Hoz would like to thank Bruce Matsugu first for taking personal time to review the early manuscripts and then for being brave enough to step up as an author and write chapter 7 and appendix B, and Rick Basile for being another brave man stepping up to write Chapters 9 and 12, very difficult ones. All the above persons would like to thank Josh More for the time and effort invested correcting and greatly enhancing the manuscript, to the point that more than technical editor, he is really a coauthor of the book.
We would like to thank Syngress Team: Steve Elliot, for all the advice and suggestion. Chris Katsaropoulos, Meagan White, Matthew Cater, Alex Burack, and David Bevans for helping us on different stages in the project. For all, our gratitude for all the assistance but overall for the great patience and diligence while working on the book. We are not sure if they ever had to deal with so many date changes on delivering the manuscripts.:-)
