SANS Stay Sharp Summer 2027

Short-Format Cybersecurity Training, With AI Across the Lineup

SANS Stay Sharp Summer 2027 is a cybersecurity training event running July 19-21, fully online. Its courses each run 1-2 days and cover applied AI for digital forensics, AI-assisted source code analysis, and cyber threat intelligence foundations, each with hands-on labs.

One- and Two-Day Courses in AI, Forensics, and Threat Intelligence

SANS Stay Sharp is cybersecurity training for the practitioner who needs one specific capability and can’t spare a full week to get it. Each course takes on a narrow, current problem rather than a broad curriculum, so the time-to-skill is short. If any of these actions could apply to your role, this event is for you: Running local LLMs against forensic evidence so case data stays in-house, directing AI coding agents to find flaws in source code during a penetration test, and building a cyber threat intelligence program that delivers usable intelligence to stakeholders. It’s a low-commitment way to close a single gap, or to add a focused skill between longer professional development cycles.

Course Highlights

• Analyze logs and forensic artifacts in natural language, on models you host yourself, in Applied AI for Digital Forensics and Incident Response: Leveraging Local Large Language Models.
• Direct AI coding agents to find logic flaws and build exploits during a penetration test in AI-Assisted Source Code Analysis and Exploitation for Penetration Testers.
• Learn how CTI programs are structured and how analysts turn research into intelligence stakeholders can use in Cyber Threat Intelligence Foundations.
