About the Authors
Peter Gregory,
CISA, CISSP, is a career IT guy who has worn just about every
hat that could be worn in the Data Processing/Information Systems/Information
Technology business. Peter has IT experience in government, banking, non-
profit, legalized gambling, and telecommunications. The Usenet-E-mail-
Internet bug bit him in the mid 1980s. He has spent the past eleven years in
two wireless telecom companies, working in positions where he develops
security policy, security architecture, and security emergency response
teams, and is a security consultant in general.
His passion for computers is matched only by his dedication to helping
people know how to use information systems — from personal computers to
mainframes — more effectively and safely. He achieves this through his
speaking appearances at security conferences, in
ComputerWorld
and other
online publications, and through a security consulting company that he co-
founded in 2002.
Peter lives at Alki Beach in West Seattle, Washington, and enjoys antique
shopping; driving his old German car on twisty, tree-lined roads; movies;
looking for beach glass; and relaxing with friends in local coffee houses.
Michael A. Simon
works as a computer security consultant in the Seattle
area and the northwestern U.S. with clients in banking, e-commerce, health
care, and biotechnology. Mike has been working in IT security for around 20
years and wrote his first programs on punched cards for an IBM mainframe in
the early 1980s. Although he doesn’t get much chance to exercise his skills in
COBOL or Fortran these days, he keeps a deck of blank IBM punch cards
around just in case.
For the last 10 years, Mike has been working for the company that he co-
founded with Corwin Low when the Internet was more innocent, and convinc-
ing people of security’s importance was a difficult task. Mike keeps busy
assessing new threats for his clients, lecturing at Seattle University and the
University of Washington, and advancing the public service goals of
Northwest Security Institute, a non-profit that he helped to found.
When he steps away from the structured electron flows, Mike can be found
roaming around the Olympic Peninsula or the Oregon coast with his wife,
Dawn, and dog, Coda.
