Knowing his expertise and time are in extreme demand, I especially want to thank Gen. Keith Alexander, the first commander of US Cyber Command and former director of the National Security Agency, for graciously writing the foreword. At the Naval Postgraduate School, I also owe much to Clay Moltz and Mohammed Hafez, the present and past chairmen of the National Security Affairs Department; to Dan Boger, chairman of the Cyber Academic Group; and to Steve Peterson, director of the Institute for Security Governance for the opportunity to design and teach courses in residence, online, and overseas related to the content of this book. I also want to thank John Arquilla, Clark Robertson, and Sharon Runde for their confidence in my ability to lead and teach a school-wide initiative in cyber education. I sincerely appreciate the vision and support of Joe LoPiccolo, Chris Gaucher, Robert Sweeney, Chris Angelopoulos, and Justin Brown in installing, testing, and measuring on campus the robust solutions for cyber resilience described in this book.

In addition, I would like to thank numerous industry experts for discussing and demonstrating their cybersecurity products. I want also to recognize the pertinent guidance from Don Jacobs and Hanna Greco in the organization and construction of this book. Finally, I want to thank my wife, Annie, who provided the inspiration to take on this field of study.
