SANS Institute, the global leader in information security training, today announced the agenda for SANS Scottsdale 2017 taking place in Arizona February 20 – 25. The training will feature eight hands-on, immersion-style security courses all of which are aligned with GIAC certifications; several of these courses are designed to prepare technical staff for DoDD 8140. Bonus evening discussions, including John Strand’s If I Wake Evil discussion, will round out the agenda.

According to John Strand, Senior Security Analyst at Black Hills Information Security and a SANS Senior Instructor, “My presentation, If I Wake Evil, is a step by step guide of how I would attack your network. In addition to showing you how evil works, I will teach you how to stop evil.”

Those new to information security or looking to make the move will benefit from the SEC301: Intro to Information Security, SEC401: Security Essentials Bootcamp Style and FOR408: Windows Forensic Analysis courses.
