For Renee, the most patient and caring person I know. Thank you for being
the heart of our family.

For Scott Ksander, who taught me that disagreeing doesn’t mean that you
can’t be on the same page, for Joanna Grama who proved me wrong and
by doing so became a wonderful friend, and for Greg Hedrick who stood
between our team of security practitioners and the rest of the world so that
we could excel. Thank you all!

Acknowledgments
The authors would like to thank the many people who made this book possible. Jim
Minatel at Wiley Publishing helped us extend the Sybex CISSP franchise to include this
new title and gain important support from the International Information Systems Security
Certification Consortium (ISC)2. Carole Jelen, our agent, worked on a myriad of logistic
details and handled the business side of the book with her usual grace and commitment to
excellence. Aaron Krauss, our technical editor, pointed out many opportunities to improve
our work and deliver a high-quality final product. Jeff Parker’s technical proofing ensured
a polished product. Kelly Talbot served as developmental editor and managed the project
smoothly. Many other people we’ll never meet worked behind the scenes to make this book
a success.
