His university textbooks have become core texts for international and security studies programs at universities in the US and abroad.  Stephen Flynn, a former member of the Homeland Security Science and Technology Advisory Council and Founding Director, Global Resilience Institute, Northeastern University wrote: “Jack Jarmon serves as a modern-day reconnaissance scout, surveying the global landscape and reporting back on the emerging dangers”. Melissa Hathaway, former cyber advisor to Presidents George W. Bush and member of Barack Obama’s National Security Council, commented on his book The Cyber Threat and Globalization, (co-written with Pano Yannakogeorgos): “This book provides a foundational understanding of how cyberspace has transformed the nature of national security, global conflict and international relations and will be relevant for years to come.”

Assignments required him to meet regularly with corporate executives, government officials, local and national figures.  Dr. Jarmon has been a background source for journalists covering domestic politics and global security.
