Dear Colleagues,

Please join us in the battle for a secure global Internet community! Defending our organization's resources and networks begins by learning what the current threats and vulnerabilities are and how to combat them. SANS Amsterdam 2006, 6-11 November, is your opportunity to get this vital education!

You have your choice of six hands-on audit and security courses:

• Audit 507: Auditing Networks, Perimeters & Systems
• Security 401: SANS Security Essentials Bootcamp Style (Sold Out)
• Second Session Just Added!
  Security 401: SANS Security Essentials Bootcamp Style - Second Session
• Security 503: Intrusion Detection In-Depth
• Security 504: Hacker Techniques, Exploits & Incident Handling
• Security 508: System Forensics, Investigation & Response
• Security 509: Securing Oracle

Some of the world's top instructors have been selected to bring their vast wisdom and experience into the classroom and show you how to translate theory into practice. You can then prove that you have mastered the material by earning the GIAC certification. This certification is unique because it not only tests your knowledge, but also your ability to put that knowledge to use in the real world. For more information about GIAC certification, please go to http://www.giac.org.

Only SANS guarantees that you will be able to use what you learn in the classroom as soon as you return to the office. Do you know someone that would benefit from this kind of pragmatic, hands-on training? Please drop them an email with our conference URL (http://www.sans.org/amsterdam06/) so they can attend too!

We look forward to having you join us at SANS Amsterdam 2006!

Kind regards,

John Fitzgerald
