Dear Colleague,

SANS will be in Redondo Beach on August 27 - September 2, 2006 with the world's best information security, audit, and management training! What could be better than SANS training at the beach? Also known as the Hollywood Rivera, this city is the sea food capital of the state, with incredible recreational opportunities including water sports, sport fishing, swimming, surfing, sailing, whale watching, kayaking with two miles of the cleanest, widest beaches in the state and a fabulous pier!

You can turbo-charge your career and enjoy California sun and sand all at the same time!

Join us in beautiful southern California where we'll be presenting the following seven hands-on audit and security courses:
