Foreword

Humans need to be connected to one another for society to flourish. The internet is an essential connector in today’s world. By 2020, it is projected that there will be 50 billion internet-connected devices in use. With the rise of new technologies in our lives, new cyber threats and attacks regularly occur. We’re seeing politically motivated DDoS attacks, and a new twist on cyberattacks—the 2017 attempt to cash in on the soaring price of Bitcoin. We need cyber-warriors to continually out-think and out-smart those who are using IoT devices, cloud infrastructures, and other technologies against us.

As we implement the next generation of security solutions, intelligent automation that leverages machine learning is the weapon we need to win the cyber war. But technology alone is not enough. We all need the tenacity and dedication of our security experts to ensure our digital life not only endures, but thrives for all, as it should.

Working with Rich and Eric at A10, I’ve witnessed their tenacity and dedication to winning the cyber war. They have been key warriors architecting next-generation security solutions and working with third parties to develop systems to take down and dismantle massively damaging global botnets. Their efforts have benefited millions of users.

I’m honored to write this foreword for them, and I’m excited to have this book as a resource for fellow warriors.
