We would like to thank the technical editors (David White, Andrew Yourtchenko, and Wen Zhang) for their time and technical expertise. They verified our work and corrected us in all the major and minor mistakes that were hard to find.

Special thanks go to Jay Biersbach and James Cline for reviewing the manuscript and making this a better-looking book.

We would like to thank the Cisco Press team, especially Brett Bartow, Sheri Cain, Dayna Isley, Michelle Grandin and Marc Fowler for their patience, guidance, and consideration. Their efforts are greatly appreciated.

Many thanks to our managers, William Beach and Joe Dallatore, for their continuous support. They highly encouraged us throughout this project.

Kudos to the Cisco ASA product development team for delivering such a great product. Their support is also greatly appreciated during the development of this book.
