СКАЧАТЬ decades of teaching I'd received from many professionals in the military, in government, and in the private sector about the fine art and brute-force cybernetics of debugging networks, systems, highly secure communications systems, and all of the arcana of controlling space-based systems working many different missions. I've also drawn on years of working with small and medium but otherwise rather down-to-earth business IT systems and what it took to get them back into operations. Where that problem-solving focus comes through clearly and helps you shoot the troubles you have to deal with, I owe a great debt of thanks to those who let me learn how in real time.

      Finally, I wish to thank my wife Nancy. She saved my life and brought me peace. Her strength inspired me to say “yes” one more time when Jim called me, again, about doing this book, and she has kept both of us healthy and happy throughout. We go together, on adventures like writing, and on ones for which we do need to pack a pocket handkerchief.

      Michael S. Wills, SSCP, CISSP, CAMS, is Assistant Professor of Applied and Innovative Information Technologies at the College of Business, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University—Worldwide, where he continues his graduate and undergraduate teaching and research in cybersecurity and information assurance.

      Mike has also been an advisor on science and technology policy to the UK's Joint Intelligence Committee, Ministry of Justice, and Defense Science and Technology Laboratories, helping them to evolve an operational and policy consensus relating topics from cryptography and virtual worlds, through the burgeoning surveillance society, to the proliferation of weapons of mass disruption (not just “destruction”) and their effects on global, regional, national, and personal security. For a time, this had him sometimes known as the UK's nonresident expert on outer space law.

      Mike has been supporting the work of (ISC)2 by writing, editing, and updating books, study guides, and course materials for both their SSCP and CISSP programs. He wrote the SSCP Official Study Guide 2nd Edition in 2019, followed quickly by the SSCP Official Common Book of Knowledge 5th Edition. He was lead author for the 2021 update of (ISC)2's official CISSP and SSCP training materials. Mike has also contributed to several industry roundtables and white papers on digital identity and cyber fraud detection and prevention and has been a panelist and webinar presenter on these and related topics for ACAMS.

      Mike earned his BS and MS degrees in computer science, both with minors in electrical engineering, from Illinois Institute of Technology, and his MA in Defence Studies from King's College, London. He is a graduate of the Federal Chief Information Officer program at National Defense University and the Program Manager's Course at Defense Systems Management College.

      Mike and his wife Nancy currently call Wexford, Ireland, their home. Living abroad since the end of the last century, they find new perspectives, shared values, and wonderful people wherever they go. As true digital nomads, it's getting time to move again. Where to? They'll find out when they get there.

      Graham Thornburrow-Dobson, CISSP, SSCP, is a security consultant and instructor with more than 30 years of experience in IT, with 20 years focused on IT security and related training.

      Graham is an authorized (ISC)2 instructor who has delivered security training to a wide range of security professionals globally via both classroom-based and online training.

      Graham has also been supporting the efforts of (ISC)2 in the continued development of their CISSP, SSCP, and ISSAP programs as both a writer and a technical editor.

      Graham currently resides in Lincolnshire, United Kingdom. Graham would add more, but, hey, security!
