What attendees say about their SANS training experience:
"The best defense is a good offense. This course helped me think like an attacker, and the skills I gained will be invaluable as a developer and defender." - Brandon Evans, Asurion
"SEC560 is an exceptional course for anyone looking to enhance their offensive skills. There are lots of very technical, hands-on labs that stretch your knowledge and reinforce classroom learning." - Michael Hoffman, Shell
“The course material is backed up with very well-crafted labs that give you an opportunity to actually use and interact with the tools and techniques covered in the course. Having the labs delivered as VMs that we can run locally and continue to use after the class is a great benefit for continued practice.” - Michael Rizzo, Palo Alto Networks
