Well worth my time." - Dale Leschnitzer, LANL "This was my first SANS course so I have no comparison to any other SANS class. For me the class out line was very specific to my job so it was money well spent." - Randy Mosso, ADT Security "I work in net security... with a lot of tools. Seth provided a great perspective on the state of cyber defense and how we should be approaching it." - Kevin South, Navient "This course will allow me to directly apply this knowledge to incident handling of work." - Richard Clark, Tucson Electric Power "The methods taught and the tools introduced will be very beneficial to me as an analyst performing examinations.
