"SANS class is very content-rich with tons of hands-on exercises. The instructor has a wealth of experience practicing his trade, not just teaching." - Dat Pham, Charles Schwab

"SANS provides timely training that is world class and very thorough. The training provides an in-depth understanding of the subject in a conducive learning environment." - Ryan Astin, Raytheon

"This was my first SANS course and I was very pleased and impressed with the quality, focus and practicability of the material." - Nacio Valdez, San Diego Data Processing Corporation
