SANS is pleased to bring two courses to SANS Reston 2008, September 13-20! You will rarely have an opportunity to take a new course designed by Dr. Eric Cole, Ph.D., so take advantage of the deeply discounted tuition rate in appreciation for your feedback on this brand new course, SEC501.
Dr. Eric Cole is an industry recognized security expert, with over 15 year's of hands-on experience. Dr. Cole has experience in information technology, with a focus on perimeter defense, secure network design, vulnerability discovery, penetration testing, and intrusion detection systems. Dr. Cole has a Masters in Computer Science from NYIT, and a Ph.D. from Pace University with a concentration in Information Security.
Your course opportunities for this training event, including the NEW course with Dr. Cole, are:
- Security 501: Advanced Security Essentials -- Enclave Defender

Instructor: Dr. Eric Cole, Ph.D.
- From course author, Eric Cole: What students are telling us is that they want a Security Essentials part 2 or a 500-level continuation of Security Essentials covering the next level of technical knowledge. In Security 501, SANS has decided to give students just what they have been asking for, and I am beyond thrilled with the results. We have identified core foundation areas that compliment SEC401 with no overlap and continue to build a solid security foundation for network practitioners.
Here's what SANS alumni have said about the value of SANS training:
Dr. Cole is an incredible teacher,
says Blake Sharin, Florida Department of Health, after taking SEC401 with Dr. Cole. He is one of the only teachers that I have experienced in my many years of classes that can keep your attention 100% of the time.
After taking SEC525, Charles Beierla of IBI Bank says, There shouldn't be an IT manager, or any manager really, who hasn't taken this course.
SANS consistently delivers the highest quality, most useful training that I've ever received.
— stated Robert Smock, United Space Alliance
