Dear Colleague,

SANS is coming back to Vancouver November 14-19 offering three of SANS top courses!

Based on a recent survey of interest, we Canadians requested these top-rated courses:

• SEC401: SANS Security Essentials Bootcamp Style

Very good overview of various security technologies. The instructor did a good job presenting the material - Gina Carletti, Scotia Bank

• SEC508: Computer Forensics, Investigation, and Response

This was an excellent class that led us from manual disk operations all the way through some of the newest memory forensics. - Douglas Couch, Purdue University

• Management 414: SANS¨ +Sª Training Program for the CISSP¨ Certification Exam

Very valuable, as it not only teaches the material, it also teaches how to take the exam effectively. - Steve Brant, Nett App

Classes will be held at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver. This freshly updated downtown hotel is moments away from the business centre, shops, and entertainment. A special discount rate of $184 S/D CAD will be honored based on space availability. This rate includes high-speed Internet in your room. This discount is only available through October 21, 2009, so take advantage of this special offer and make your reservations today! Sporting my favorites: Chinatown, Jericho Beach, Lions, Dog Mountain, and a quick trip to Granville Island; Vancouver is busting out in natural beauty -- a "must see!" Think about staying an extra day or two, if you are from out of town. If you can't take extra time, the seaplane tour is a blast.

Getting hands-on experience with the latest tools and having fun learning gives SANS an edge no other training organization has yet mastered. - Jason Fowler, UBC

SANS is the fastest way to go from an Information Security beginner to an Information Security guru. - Dave Howard, Emerson

SANS excels at technical security training that balances theory and hands-on work. I've learned and improved skills that are immediately valuable to my job! - Chris Calvert, TELUS

As always, the class and conference did not disappoint! - Chris Glanville City of Portland
