SANS’ immersion training is intensive and hands-on, and our courseware is unrivalled in the industry. SANS Instructors and course authors are leading industry experts and practitioners. Their real-world experience informs their teaching and SANS’ training content. Across our roster of Instructors are many active security practitioners who work for high profile organizations. SANS training strengthens a student’s ability to achieve a GIAC certification, with both SANS and GIAC placing an emphasis on learning practical skills.
