PREFACE

Security is now an essential element that forms the cornerstone of every
corporate network. Without privacy, however, your solution is incomplete!
My expertise in the areas of security and privacy has provided me
with a valuable perspective that has enabled me to save my clients hundreds
of thousands of dollars of what would have been revenue lost to
hackers.
Many of my clients ask me to work with their organizations as either
a contractor or consultant to assist them in implementing effective security
measures because there is no greater cost to an organization than
falling prey to a plethora of security vulnerabilities.
As a Director of CyberSecurity for IBM Global Consulting Services for
over a decade, I established myself as the leading expert in both network
security and enterprise resource planning in several IT sectors. I
have published 11 best-selling computer books and have written over
1000 articles for the trade magazines. Today, I am always involved in
writing specialized, private analyses for customers interested in acquiring
my consulting services.
My experience comes from my extensive work with most of the Fortune
500 companies through my company, Executive Information Services.
I work well with personnel to handle the most difficult computing
problems, as I am dedicated to creating solutions that specifically meet
my clients’ individual computing needs.
My core offerings include my work in the following areas:

1. Business and Strategy Development
Project management services that oversee any consulting service
through my eyes as an efficiency expert giving you the most “bang for
your buck.” My expertise is in all areas of security, privacy, and realworld
enterprise IT. My company creates the most professional technical
writing in white papers, brochures, books, articles, manuals, press
releases, and industry “focused” tear sheets.

2. Powerful Market Research
I don’t settle for regurgitated market data that puts anyone behind the
business curve, and neither should you! In this book and through my
company, I provide “real” data, customized to my client’s needs to
increase both their marketing and sales. I make sure I always stay at
the cutting edge of technology by writing comprehensive white papers
(technical and/or marketing), market research reports (better than any
research service), and effectively targeted PowerPoint presentations for
greater customer relationship management (CRM). My clients engage
me to help them create unique product and business strategies; I then
develop that information into computer-based training (CBT) modules to
train both staff and clients.

3. Cost-Effective IT Product Selection
Purchasing any IT security product is often prohibitively expensive; my
forté is that I save my clients a great deal of money by creating a personalized
product comparison matrix to help them get the most functionality
for the least amount of money. I cut through the red tape so
that my clients should never have to overpay for extra costly features
they don’t require. My work with Fortune 500 companies is so well
received because my clients get exactly what they need, resulting in savings
of several hundred thousand dollars over the long term.
My sole interest in writing this book is to describe the constantly
changing face of the wireless world of security and privacy. With information
this important, I don’t believe anyone should ever be treated like
a second-class citizen when it comes to getting the right information for
their needs and consulting projects.
I have always stuck by one motto: I treat, work, and consider any
client’s project as though I am working only for that one client.
If I can be of assistance in fulfilling your technical writing or analysis
needs, please contact me and I will be pleased to assist you in satisfying
both your business needs and mission-critical requirements.
