About the Author
Dr. Gerald L. Kovacich graduated from the University of Maryland with a bachelor’s degree in history and politics with emphasis in Asia, the University of Northern Colorado with a master’s degree in social science with emphasis in public administration, Golden Gate University with a master’s degree in telecommunications management, the DOD Language Institute (Chinese Mandarin), and August Vollmer University with a doctorate degree in criminology. He was also a Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Protection Professional, and a Certified Information Systems Security Professional.1
Dr. Gerald L. Kovacich has more than 40 years of experience in industrial security, investigations, information systems security, and information warfare as a special agent in the U.S. government; a technologist and manager for numerous technology-based international corporations; and an information systems security officer, security, audit, and investigations manager, and consultant to U.S. and foreign government agencies and corporations. He has also developed and managed several internationally based information systems security programs for Fortune 500 corporations and managed several information systems security organizations, including providing service and support for their information warfare products and services.
Dr. Gerald L. Kovacich has taught both graduate and undergraduate courses in criminal justice, technology crimes investigations, and security for Los Angeles City College, DeAnza College, Golden Gate University, and August Vollmer University. He has also lectured internationally and presented workshops on these topics for national and international conferences, as well as writing numerous published articles on high-tech crime investigations, information systems security, and information warfare, both nationally and internationally. He has written more than 100 security-related articles that have been published in various international magazines.
Dr. Gerald L. Kovacich currently spends his time on Whidbey Island, Washington. He continues to conduct research, write, consult, and lecture internationally on such topics as:
• Global and nation-state information systems security;
• Corporate information systems security;
• Corporate and government fraud;
• Corporate security;
• High-tech crime investigations;
• Information assurance;
• Proprietary information protection;
• Espionage–including “Netspionage,” economic, and industrial; and
• Information warfare–offensive and defensive.
He is also the founder of ShockwaveWriters, an informal association of trusted cyber security and global information warfare professionals, writers, researchers, and lecturers who concentrate on these topics. He can also be found on LinkedIn.
Dr. Gerald L. Kovacich has begun to expand his writings into the world of poetry and fiction. I guess this is what happens when one “matures” in age and longs for writing genres other than that of the security realm. All his writings can be found on the usual Web sites, for example, amazon.com.
