When looking at the building, walk
down a few steps. I will put signs indicating the way. If you are lost, look
for the tennis courts. The room is located above them. If you are really lost,
call me on my mobile.
Why join
this ‘SANS Security Essentials’ mentor-led program?
·
Truly global overview of Information Security: you will learn everything about
TCP/IP, firewalls, IDS, cryptography, Windows & Unix security, ... If you do not believe me, check the agenda below.
·
Very practical techniques: The courses are full of important and immediately useful techniques
that you can put to work as soon as you return to your offices.
·
Outside of business hours
·
No need to travel to an expensive city: combination of online training (access to pdf
and mp3) along with 10 classroom sessions. But it is still all the same
materials used at SANS conferences.
·
Also
visit www.sans.org for much more on SANS and
SANS education.
Why
Certify?
·
Added confidence: very important point for a security professional working in a very
stressful environment to be confident in the solutions he/she puts in place. Also
very important from your employer’s point of view to be confident in the work
you do.
·
Stay up-to-date: you make sure you keep your skills current in such a fast-evolving
field
·
Every
certification aims at providing assurance that a certified individual meets
a minimum level of ability and possesses the skills to do the job. Is
there a better way to reassure a potential employer about your abilities and
differentiate yourself from the others?
·
I’m
sure you can find many other advantages. (I wanted to be short). Please visit
