A Year’s Worth of Cybersecurity Training in 6 Immersive Days

SANSFIRE 2027 is a six-day cybersecurity training event held in person and online. Attendees choose from more than 25 courses covering cyber defense, offensive operations, digital forensics, cloud security, and AI security, each taught by a practicing security professional and mapped to a GIAC certification exam.

SANS Live Training

Courses Taught by Working Practitioners

Each course pairs lecture with hands-on labs built around real attacker techniques. Instructors are practitioners first. The expert teaching incident response is running IR engagements. The expert teaching offensive security is red-teaming for a living.

Most courses map to a GIAC certification exam, so what's covered in the classroom is verifiable outside it. The week also includes evening talks, hands-on workshops, and 2 NetWars tournaments, with time to compare notes with instructors and peers solving the same problems at their own organizations.

Investigate and contain active security incidents using the same response methodology taught in SANS's incident handling courses.

  • Learn the tools and techniques attackers actually use, then apply that knowledge to close the gaps they'd exploit.
  • Secure industrial control systems and SCADA environments where uptime and safety can't be compromised.
  • Turn threat intelligence into faster detection and response, instead of another feed nobody reads.
  • Apply AI and machine learning to detection and automation, and learn to defend the AI systems attackers are now targeting.

Why Book Through SANS?

  • Special Rates

    When comparing hotel rates, the lowest advertised price isn't always the best deal. Our specially negotiated SANS group rate includes benefits that third-party sites and competitor rates simply don't offer.

  • Discounted Resort Fee and Flexible Cancellation

    The nightly resort fee has been reduced from $20 to $10 and is completely waived for guests booking at the government per diem rate. Plans change. Our group rate comes with a flexible cancellation policy so you can book with confidence, without the risk that comes with many prepaid or non-refundable third-party rates.

  • Do The Math Before You Book Elsewhere

    A seemingly lower rate on a booking site could carry a full price daily resort fee, and may lock you into a non-refundable reservation. When you factor in those costs, the SANS group rate is frequently the smarter—and more affordable—choice. Book early—the group block is available for a limited time and rooms fill up fast.
