I would like to thank my wife, Charmae, and children, Trinity and Ethan. Their encouragement and love during my time collaboration on this project has been invaluable. I would also like to thank all the great volunteers and staff of the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Internet of Things (IoT) Working Group, who have worked with me over the past few years to better understand and recommend solutions for IoT security. Lastly, I would like to thank my parents, without whom I would not have the drive to complete this book.
