The CSSLP™ Prep Guide: Mastering the Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional

Acknowledgments

Both authors would like to thank our peers and colleagues who work in the software assurance and software security fields, including the wider community of researchers who have shared their ideas and contributed to the collective body of knowledge that the CSSLP encompasses. We would also like to thank Carol Long, Kevin Kent, and Sydney Jones of Wiley for their enthusiasm and hard work on this book.

I would like to thank Hart Rossman, vice president, CTO cyber programs, and chief security technologist at SAIC, for his direct assistance on this book. He provided me with an insightful technical review of material in the chapters I authored.

This book would not be possible without the support and tolerance of my friends and family over the many nights, weekends, and holidays I spent writing instead of sharing our love and friendship. Thank you for understanding how important this book is to me. In particular, I would like to thank my immediate clan members Julie Fry, Enzo Barbato, Sylvia Angles, and Rudy Fry. You all became experts at prioritizing my activities and obligations so that I could focus on this project.

—Alexander J. Fry

I would like thank my wife, Hilda, for her patience, support, and encouragement for yet another "last" writing project.

—Ronald L. Krutz
