Acknowledgments

from John W. Rittinghouse:

My dear wife, Naree Rittinghouse, is certainly among those I would like to

thank for her love and understanding, her encouragement, and most of all,

her faith in my work. There are many people, in addition to the authors,

who contribute to the great effort required to take an idea from scratch and

see it become a finished product. In reality, the author usually depends on

quite a few others to help keep things in order. This is something that is

very true in the case of getting this book out the door and into your hands.

I would like to thank Murray Fish for his tireless efforts reviewing each

chapter and providing excellent feedback. Dr. Bill Hancock is another indi-

vidual who helped contribute to the success of this book. His expertise in

the security realm knows no bounds and he worked many late nights

reviewing, editing, and validating the work herein to ensure its accuracy

and relevancy. Finally, I would like to thank all of the folks at Elsevier/Digi-

tal Press for their continued support of my work.

from James F. Ransome:

I would like to take this opportunity to give special thanks to my wife Gail

for her continual patience with me as I took time off to complete my third

and fourth security book in a rather short period of time. I would also like

to thank Paul Kurtz for his support of our book and his significant roles as

the special assistant to the President and senior director for critical infra-

structure protection, White House Homeland Security Council and as

senior director of the Office of Cyberspace Security, and member of the

President’s Critical Infrastructure Protection Board, White House

National Security Council, where he has fought to ensure that our national

information infrastructure business continuity and disaster recovery needs

are being addressed.
