SANS Seattle 2027 is a cybersecurity training event running March 15-20 at the Grand Hyatt Seattle, in-person and online. Courses cover strategic security leadership, cloud forensics, zero trust architecture, and AI security automation.

SANS Live Training

Classroom Training a Mile From the Space Needle

SANS Seattle 2027 pairs strategic leadership courses with hands-on forensics and AI security work, which makes it a convenient cybersecurity training week for a manager and an analyst from the same team to attend together and each get something role-appropriate. A NetWars tournament gives the technical crowd a place to test the week's material competitively.

The Grand Hyatt sits on Pine Street downtown, a short walk to Pike Place Market and a mile from the Space Needle, with Elliott Bay visible from the upper floors on a clear day.

Course Highlights

  • Build enterprise security strategy in Security Strategic Planning, Policy, and Leadership.
  • Investigate incidents across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud in Enterprise Cloud Forensics and Incident Response.
  • Automate red, blue, and purple team workflows in AI and Security Automation for Red, Blue, and Purple Teams.
