In-Person Event Considerations

With your health and wellbeing in mind, we are working closely with the event venue to apply the greatest safety measures and highest standards of cleanliness for our In-Person attendees. 

Internet Storm Center

At this year’s 21st annual SANSFIRE event, connect with the experts running the SANS Internet Storm Center (ISC), a global network security information sharing community. The ISC collects data from hundreds of honeypots and disseminates the collected information to the cyber community in near real time. Our mission at the ISC is supported by an amazing team of incident handlers, who also provide valuable resources to educate your security team on new threats and tools. 

Get involved! The ISC honeypot can be installed on a Raspberry Pi or a virtual machine, and you can use the ISC API to do things like automatically import feeds of researchers scanning the internet and IP addresses associated with crypto coin mining. Join the ISC community for FREE today!
