SANSFIRE 2012

For more than 10 years, the Internet Storm Center has been providing free analysis and warning to our community. Have you read Bojan's malware analysis articles? Have you seen Manuel's first hand insights into SCADA? Are you using Guy's DNS blackhole? Are you aware of our various data collections?

SANSFIRE 2012 is not just another training event. It is our annual "ISC Powered" event. It is your chance to meet some of our handlers face to face, to listen to what they have to report about, and to ask questions about topics that interest you.

SANS will return to the Hilton Washington & Towers, Washington DC, July 7-15, with more than 40 courses. Each evening, the ISC handlers share riveting talks on their most interesting experiences and newest cyber hazards. These special presentations are free to everyone who attends a course at SANSFIRE 2012.

SANSFIRE 2012 hosts world-class instructors teaching top-quality SANS courses covering penetration testing and hacker exploits, security, management, wireless, forensics, secure coding, and much more. See our Event-at-a-Glance page for the whole list of courses and links to course descriptions. We also have 13 one-and two-day courses to round out your training, which if taken with a five- or six-day course, will be available at approximately 50 percent of the normal tuition fee.

All SANS courses directly address the kinds of incidents reported by the Internet Storm Center in their daily diaries. And, it's a SANS promise that what you learn you'll be able to apply immediately back at the office. Here is what past SANSFIRE attendees told us:

"Conference was filled with great presenters who are top experts in their corresponding fields. Great class!" - Dave Atkinson, SCMC

"This was the best IT training I have attended. I am confident the tools and knowledge I learned this week will prove helpful." - Sarah Hesters, Southeast Alabama Regional Planning and Development Commission

"The best IT security class I have taken...the information is practical and useful in the real world." - Keisha Marston, NRC

Our conference location is the Hilton Washington & Towers. Discounted room rates of $199 S/D are available for SANS students through June 14. Government per diem rooms are available with proper ID. You must call the hotel and specifically ask for this rate (1-800-HILTONS). These special SANS rates include high-speed internet in your room. See our Event Location page to learn for about this hotel and its surroundings.
