Supporting the Cybersecurity Community

SANS supports the cyber security community through the provision of world-leading training, certification, skills development programmes and through a vast array of free resources. In addition, we have created a networking group for CISOs and senior security professionals.

Empowering CISOs: The SANS CISO Network

Our aim is to help ease the pressure of working as a security decision-maker by providing an environment in which ideas and lessons-learned can be shared amongst a peer group of influencers and thought leaders.

The network is open exclusively to security leaders at the highest level and connects a unique group of professionals who have the appetite and the authority to make a meaningful difference. By sharing ideas and lessons learnt from a wide variety of industries, the SANS CISO Network brings members together to influence our digital future and make the world a safer place.
