SANS Industry Analysts Program
SANS Industry Analysts perform research to identify new trends in the IT, IT Security, Operations and IT Audit markets. We have access to resources unpallelled anywhere else. The Internet Storm Center gives us the latest in threat information. The GIAC Advisory board, over 600 people that have scored 90 or above on certification exams, gives constant feedback on technical information and trends. The MGT 512 Alumni give us a perspective on the issues and concerns that impact management. We offer two primary services, papers on industry trends and product evaluations. Samples of our work are posted below. If you are interested in learning more, please contact vendor@sans.org.
