ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Although I am the named author of this volume, this book is the result of a much broader team effort. This book would not be possible without the contributions by leaders and experts in the field. All of the contributors are big thinkers and good cybercitizens—colleagues who give their time and energy to advancing the science of cybersecurity and who make our digital universe a better place.
I would first like to thank Ken Xie and the entire Fortinet team for supporting me in creating this book and providing me with the opportunity to explore and write about these topics.
And I especially want to thank Sandra Wheatley-Smerdon, my work colleague, who was instrumental in launching this exploration of the “big history” of cybersecurity.
